DescriptionCVE.org

Exposure of data element to wrong session vulnerability in the JSON plugin of Apache Struts. Per-response serialization state could be shared across concurrent requests, allowing response content associated with one request to become observable in another. Only the SMD / JSON-RPC handling of the JSON interceptor is affected, which is not enabled by default; applications using the json result type are not affected.

This issue affects Apache Struts: 7.2.1.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 7.3.0, which fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Cross-request data leakage in Apache Struts 7.2.1's JSON plugin allows an authenticated remote attacker to observe response content associated with a concurrent request belonging to a different user. The root cause is a thread-safety defect (CWE-567) in the SMD/JSON-RPC interceptor, where per-response serialization state is not isolated between concurrent requests. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate with low-privilege credentials
Delivery
Identify SMD/JSON-RPC endpoint on target application
Exploit
Send high-volume concurrent JSON-RPC requests
Execution
Race per-response serialization context across threads
Impact
Read response content belonging to another user's request

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The SMD/JSON-RPC handling mode of the Apache Struts JSON interceptor must be explicitly enabled in the application's struts.xml or equivalent configuration - this mode is not active by default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The overall risk profile is moderate-to-low despite the network-accessible attack vector. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated low-privilege user sends a high volume of concurrent JSON-RPC requests to a Struts 7.2.1 application with the SMD/JSON-RPC interceptor enabled, exploiting the unsynchronized serialization state to observe fragments of response content generated for another user's simultaneous request - potentially including sensitive field values serialized as part of that user's JSON response. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so successful exploitation currently depends on manual implementation of the concurrent-request timing technique.
Remediation The primary and recommended fix is to upgrade Apache Struts to version 7.3.0, which resolves the serialization state isolation defect. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
