6.1 mediumCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:NCVE-2016-2162
Medium (6.1) in apache struts. EPSS 7.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.apache.struts:struts2-core 2.3.28.
Apache Struts 2.x before 2.3.25 does not sanitize text in the Locale object constructed by I18NInterceptor, which might allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via unspecified vectors involving language display.
