CVE-2026-44668

FACTION is a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework. Prior to 1.8.3, AccessControlInterceptor, the authentication gate for all Struts2 actions, unconditionally calls invocation.invoke() without checking for a valid session. Four action methods in BoilerPlateConfig perform no local session check either, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to read, overwrite, deactivate, and permanently delete any boilerplate template in the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.3.

Summary		(es) FACTION es un Framework de Colaboración y Generación de Informes de PenTesting. Antes de la versión 1.8.3, AccessControlInterceptor, la puerta de autenticación para todas las acciones de Struts2, llama incondicionalmente a invocation.invoke() sin verificar una sesión válida. Cuatro métodos de acción en BoilerPlateConfig tampoco realizan una verificación de sesión local, permitiendo a un atacante no autenticado leer, sobrescribir, desactivar y eliminar permanentemente cualquier plantilla de boilerplate en el sistema. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la versión 1.8.3.
