CVE-2016-4430

Published: 4 July 2016

Apache Struts 2 2.3.20 through 2.3.28.1 mishandles token validation, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks via unspecified vectors.

Notes

AuthorNote

It's claimed "Struts 2.3.20 - Struts Struts 2.3.28.1" but I see no
positive statement that 2.3.19 and earlier weren't affected or perhaps may
have missed CSRF protection entirely or just outside of support lifetimes
or whatever. So I'm leaving this 'needs-triage'.
