A GreyNoise walkthrough analyzes Apache Struts2 CVE-2023-50164, demonstrating that malformed multipart uploads—leveraging parameter capitalization, prototype-pollution-like behavior, and exception conditions—can bypass path normalization to write a JSP web shell to disk. The report details PoC construction, default multipart save directory behavior, test-case findings, and notes that actual exploitability depends on how Struts2 is embedded and routed in vendor applications.
