Description

See CVE-2014-0114 – https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0114

Apache Commons BeanUtils, as distributed in lib/commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar in Apache Struts 1.x through 1.3.10 and in other products requiring commons-beanutils through 1.9.2, does not suppress the class property, which allows remote attackers to "manipulate" the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code via the class parameter, as demonstrated by the passing of this parameter to the getClass method of the ActionForm object in Struts 1.

We transitively depend on BeanUtils through Velocity, but it doesn't look like there is much movement on the project there. See BEANUTILS-463 and VELTOOLS-170

Also, this might have impact on SOLR-3736 but that issue also looks largely abandoned.
