AI-suggested

  1. Immediately upgrade Apache Struts to versions 6.8.0 or 7.1.1 where the vulnerability is patched.
  2. Implement strict limits on multipart request sizes at the web server or application level to reduce the potential for disk exhaustion.
  3. Monitor disk usage continuously on servers running Apache Struts to detect abnormal increases in temporary file storage.
  4. Configure automated cleanup scripts or processes to remove orphaned temporary files if patching cannot be done immediately.
  5. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block suspicious multipart requests that could trigger the vulnerability.
  6. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans focusing on Apache Struts components.
  7. Educate development and operations teams about the risks associated with multipart request handling and proper resource management.
  8. Isolate critical applications on dedicated infrastructure to limit the blast radius of potential denial of service attacks.

Description
