Don Brown commented on WW-2264:
-------------------------------
The values in the map are evaluated as simple Strings. There are other
protections in place to ensure it is not possible to execute methods simply by
putting ognl expressions in the query string, and this case is no exception.
Therefore, the most a malicious user could do is call your setSession() method
with a map of a single String key/value pair. While this is annoying and could
potentially be an issue (which is why I suggest we block the 'session'
parameter in the next release), it does not allow any method execution or
server-side state change, and therefore, I don't consider it a security hole.

> The attacker can inject the given value into session map by clicking

> 1.This problem is caused in struts 2.0.9 and others perhaps.
> In that case, it is assumed that it is as follows.
> i. SomeAction is implements SessionAware.
> ii. And It is defined in struts-default.
> iii. devMode is true or false.
> ["someValue"] of the name of "someKey" enters in SessionMap when the
> request shown in that URL is processed.
> It is meant that ["someValue"] is an array including "someValue".
> This causes ClassCastException in case of almost.
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> It is thought that this only has to be my mistake ,setting etc.
> Thanks
