Apache Struts2 is prone to a remote arbitrary file-upload vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

Attackers can exploit this issue to upload arbitrary code and run it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation; other attacks are also possible.
