             Summary: Regressions after upgrading to 2.3.24.1 to obtain 
security fix
                 Key: WW-4563
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4563
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Interceptors
    Affects Versions: 2.3.24
            Reporter: Seolyoung Park


We recently tried to update from 2.3.16.3 to 2.3.4.1  based on 
https://struts.apache.org/docs/s2-026.html, we are hitting regressions issues 
due to a change in CookieInterceptor.  

It's currently using the same accepted_pattern to check out both name & value 
to pass around the cookies. When the cookie values are simple, it works.  When 
the cookie value carries a special chars for example a url is the cookie value, 
it fails with the existing pattern and it is not passed to actions. 

I didn't find a way getting around this in the config and this has been a 
blocker for us to update to the version.

Why are we checking for cookie values with the same hardcoded pattern only ?  
If there is a way to workaround this in the config? 

    private static final String ACCEPTED_PATTERN = "[a-zA-Z0-9\\.\\]\\[_'\\s]+";
    .....    
protected boolean isAcceptableValue(String value) {
        return !isExcluded(value) && isAccepted(value);
    }
