CWE - 109 : Struts: Validator Turned Off

CWE Definition	http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/109.html
Number of vulnerabilities:	0
Description	Automatic filtering via a Struts bean has been turned off, which disables the Struts Validator and custom validation logic. This exposes the application to other weaknesses related to insufficient input validation.
Background Details
Other Notes	The Action Form mapping in the demonstrative example disables the form's validate() method. The Struts bean: write tag automatically filters special HTML characters, replacing a < with &lt and a > with &gt. This action can be disabled by specifying filter="false" as an attribute of the tag to disable specified JSP pages. However, being disabled makes these pages susceptible to cross-site scripting attacks. An attacker may be able to insert malicious scripts as user input to write to these JSP pages.
