Lukasz Lenart commented on WW-4849:
-----------------------------------
Sorry, I meant to fix the vulnerability reported in S2-052 you do not have to
upgrade the whole framework, just replace the plugin. As far I understand the
changes in {{ObjectFactory}} prevents you from doing the upgrade of the whole
framework.
The changes in {{ObjectFactory}} are related to this
https://github.com/apache/struts/pull/153 and I would like to have a better fix
than changing the constructor ...
> ObjectFactory constructor signature change breaks extensions

> Key: WW-4849
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4849
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.5.13
> Reporter: Mitth'raw'nuruodo
> Fix For: 2.5.14

> Commit {{6f91d0776a545c911ca4f2875ed9976614711ef9}} changed the signature of
> the {{ObjectFactory}} constructor, breaking all classes that extend
> {{ObjectFactory}} (as per https://struts.apache.org/docs/objectfactory.html).
> This affects eg the [{{guice-servlet}} Struts plugin|
> https://github.com/google/guice/blob/master/extensions/struts2/src/com/google/inject/struts2/Struts2Factory.java].
> This was not listed on the [2.5.13 version
> notes|https://struts.apache.org/docs/version-notes-2513.html] as a breaking
> change, and breaking changes should preferably be avoided in critical
> security updates.
