CVE-2014-0112 is an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-0094 in Apache Struts 2. In versions before 2.3.20, ParametersInterceptor does not adequately restrict access to the getClass method during request-parameter processing. A remote attacker can submit crafted request parameters that manipulate the application ClassLoader and lead to arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'struts_code_exec_classloader.rb', which exploits remote code execution vulnerabilities in Apache Struts 1.x (<= 1.3.10) and 2.x (< 2.3.16.2) via class loader manipulation. The exploit abuses the 'class' parameter in HTTP requests to manipulate the Java ClassLoader, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module supports both Java and native payloads, delivering them as JSP files or executables depending on the target platform (Linux, Windows, or Java). For certain Windows targets, it can leverage SMB to deliver the payload. The module is highly weaponized, supporting customizable payloads and automatic cleanup. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting HTTP endpoints exposed by vulnerable Struts applications. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and all exploit logic is contained within this file.
