Description
We have identified and fixed a code injection vulnerability in FishEye and Crucible caused by an underlying vulnerability in the third-party Webwork 2 framework. This vulnerability allows an attacker to run arbitrary Java code on a FishEye/Crucible server with user privileges of the FishEye/Crucible process. This vulnerability is a variant of a recently disclosed Struts2 vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in FishEye and Crucible pages accessible only by users with administrative privileges. It can be exploited with use of social engineering, e.g. by having the administrator click on a specially crafted link.
The maintainer of the original library can be contacted at http://struts.apache.org/
