below:</P>

class="code-tag"></result></SPAN>
+<SPAN class="code-tag"></action></SPAN>
+</PRE>
+</DIV></DIV>
+
+<P>If a request doesn't match any other defined action, it will be matched by
<TT>*</TT> and requested action name will be used to load JSP file base on the
name of action. And as value of {<TT>1</TT>} is threaten as an OGNL expression,
thus allow to execute arbitrary Java code on server side. This vulnerability is
combination of two problems:</P>
+<UL class="alternate" type="square">
+ <LI>requested action name isn't escaped or checked agains whitelist</LI>
+ <LI>double evaluation of an OGNL expression in
<TT>TextParseUtil.translateVariables</TT> when combination of <TT>$</TT> and
<TT>%</TT> open chars is used.</LI>

set value of <TT>foobar</TT> header and the value was double evaluated - first
time when <TT>${message</TT>} was evaluated, secondly when parsed value
(<TT>${%{1+2</TT>}}) was evaluated again.</P>
