### Background
Apache Struts is an open-source web application framework for developing Java EE web applications. It uses and extends the Java Servlet API to encourage developers to adopt a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture.
### Problem
A directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Struts allows remote attackers to upload files to arbitrary locations, leading to command execution.
### Resolution
Upgrade to Struts 6.4.0 or higher and migrate to the new file upload mechanism.

### Limitations
The vulnerability can only be exploited if a Struts application allows file uploads.
On success, this exploit creates a JSP file under the root web application which must be manually removed from the target.
