Jasper Rosenberg updated WW-4172:
---------------------------------

    Description: deleting  (was: Let's say you have the following mappings:

{code:xml}
    <package name="securityTest" namespace="/securitytest" extends="default">
      <action name="secureAction">
        <result>secure.ftl</result>
      </action>
      <action name="insecureAction">
        <result>insecure.ftl</result>
      </action>
    </package>
{code}

Then suppose you are using url pattern based security such as with Spring Security, and require login to view secureAction.action:

{code:xml}
<http use-expressions="true">
    <intercept-url pattern="/securitytest/insecureAction.action" access="permitAll"/>
    <intercept-url pattern="/securitytest/secureAction.action" access="isAuthenticated"/>
    <form-login />
</http>
{code}

Now:
1. http://localhost/securitytest/insecureAction.action
	Shows the insecure content

2. http://localhost/securitytest/secureAction.action
	Requires login before displaying secure content

3. http://localhost/securitytest/insecureAction.action?action:secureAction
	Whoops, there's the secure content without login!

I believe this is only a problem if you are hosting the secure and insecure actions in the same namespace.

Obviously, this is not directly a Struts2 issue, but I'm sure that many sites are using url based security and Struts2 together.  At the very least, it might be good to provide an easy way to disable support for the "action:" parameter prefix.  For now I just extended the DefaultActionMapper, and overwrote the value of prefixTrie to be empty.

        Summary: deleteing  (was: "action:" parameter prefix can be used to access url secured content)
