CVSS 3.1
6.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:NCVE-2025-54656
Medium (6.5) in apache struts extras. No vendor fix: the product was unsupported when the CVE was assigned. EPSS 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Improper Output Neutralization for Logs vulnerability in Apache Struts.
This issue affects Apache Struts Extras: before 2.
When using LookupDispatchAction, in some cases, Struts may print untrusted input to the logs without any filtering. Specially-crafted input may lead to log output where part of the message masquerades as a separate log line, confusing consumers of the logs (either human or automated).
As this project is retired, we do not plan to release a version that fixes this issue. Users are recommended to find an alternative or restrict access to the instance to trusted users.
NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
