Don Brown updated WW-2030:
--------------------------
Attachment: no-recursion-in-text-parse.diff
Patch that turns off recursion by default in TextParseUtils
> User input is evaluated as an OGNL expression
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WW-2030
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2030
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Value Stack
> Affects Versions: 2.0.8
> Reporter: Andrea Vettori
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: no-recursion-in-text-parse.diff, Struts.diff,
> Struts2.diff, translateVariable.txt, translateVariable2.txt, xwork.diff,
> xwork2.diff
>
>
> All user input, for example entered through a form, is evaluated as an OGNL
> expression.
> This leads to a remote exploit of possible malicious code execution of any
> kind, such as server shutdown or information theft.
> Moreover, it can lead to a DoS problem:
> On a form with:
> <s:textfield name="xxx">
> if the user enters %{xxx} as the value then
> com/opensymphony/xwork2/util/TextParseUtil.translateVariables enters an
> infinite loop eating about 1GB of ram in one second on my server.
