> Hi, my name is Nick,
> first Jira here.
>
> I installed secure-jakarta-multipart-parser-plugin-1.1 software to patch
> CVE-2017-5638 security issue.
> Since it's an official plugin, I expected to find some documentation on how
> it works and what kind of response to expect from the server. But I didn't
> find any, I guess because the preferred patch is to actually update Struts
> version to a more secure one, which I can't do unfortunately.
> PROBLEM: I'm getting several different exceptions when I try to attack the
> system.
> Sometimes I just get the HTML. So I guess the attack has not worked (and the
> patch did stop it), but it's hard for me to understand why I get such
> different responses from the server.
> My main doubt is why sometimes the server returns an error and sometimes it
> just returns the html.
>
> Am i doing this right? Is this how it's supposed to work? Or is this an issue
> that should be
> handled somehow at the application level?
>
> Thanks in advance
