### Vulnerable Library - commons-fileupload-1.4.jar

The Apache Commons FileUpload component provides a simple yet flexible means of adding support for multipart file upload functionality to servlets and web applications.

Library home page: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-fileupload/

Path to dependency file: /pom.xml

Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.m2/repository/commons-fileupload/commons-fileupload/1.4/commons-fileupload-1.4.jar

Dependency Hierarchy: - struts2-core-2.5.31.jar (Root Library) - :x: **commons-fileupload-1.4.jar** (Vulnerable Library)

Found in HEAD commit: 65c7240b5488c8eeabf222589cfd98830af6a65f

Found in base branch: master

### Vulnerability Details

Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.5 does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads. Note that, like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.

Library home page: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/

Path to dependency file: /pom.xml

Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.m2/repository/commons-io/commons-io/2.6/commons-io-2.6.jar

Dependency Hierarchy: - struts2-core-2.5.31.jar (Root Library) - commons-fileupload-1.4.jar - :x: **commons-io-2.6.jar** (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: master

### Vulnerability Details

In Apache Commons IO before 2.7, When invoking the method FileNameUtils.normalize with an improper input string, like "//../foo", or "\\..\foo", the result would be the same value, thus possibly providing access to files in the parent directory, but not further above (thus "limited" path traversal), if the calling code would use the result to construct a path value.
