Reachability Analysis

This vulnerability is potentially reachable

org.apache.struts_example.IndexAction (Application)
  -> com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.Configuration (Extension)
   -> org.apache.struts2.config.StrutsBeanSelectionProvider (Extension)
    -> org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.multipart.JakartaStreamMultiPartRequest (Extension)
     -> ❌ org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase (Vulnerable Component)

Vulnerability Details

Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.5 does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads.

Note that, like all of the file upload limits, the
new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not
enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.
