🔗 NVD Official
📄 Description (English)

Apache Struts Improper Input Validation Vulnerability — Apache Struts allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) expressions.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

Apache Struts contains a critical input validation vulnerability allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary OGNL expressions, leading to remote code execution. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.0 and active exploits exist in the wild, posing severe risk to unpatched systems.

📄 Description (Arabic)

تسمح هذه الثغرة الأمنية الحرجة في إطار عمل Apache Struts للمهاجمين بتنفيذ تعبيرات OGNL (لغة التنقل في الرسم البياني للكائنات) بشكل تعسفي من خلال استغلال ضعف التحقق من صحة المدخلات. يمكن للمهاجمين إرسال طلبات HTTP مصممة خصيصاً تحتوي على تعبيرات OGNL ضارة، مما يؤدي إلى تنفيذ أوامر على مستوى النظام والسيطرة الكاملة على الخادم المستهدف. وجود استغلالات نشطة يزيد من خطورة هذه الثغرة بشكل كبير، حيث يمكن استخدامها لاختراق تطبيقات الويب المبنية على Struts والوصول إلى البيانات الحساسة أو نشر برمجيات خبيثة.

🤖 ملخص تنفيذي (AI)

يحتوي Apache Struts على ثغرة حرجة في التحقق من المدخلات تسمح للمهاجمين عن بعد بتنفيذ تعبيرات OGNL عشوائية، مما يؤدي إلى تنفيذ تعليمات برمجية عن بعد. تحمل هذه الثغرة درجة خطورة 9.0 وتوجد استغلالات نشطة لها، مما يشكل خطراً شديداً على الأنظمة غير المحدثة.
