🦉 Arbitrary Code Execution

[sharmyn-snyk-test]

This is a patch version upgrade within the same minor series (2.3.x). The versions between 2.3.20 and the target version 2.3.32 consist of multiple security fixes. The release notes for version 2.3.32 specifically address a remote code execution vulnerability (S2-045) and do not indicate any breaking API changes. Such updates within the Struts 2.3.x line were intended as drop-in replacements.

Given that the Struts 2.3.x line reached its end-of-life in 2019, a migration to a currently supported version (like Struts 6.x) is highly recommended to ensure security.

Recommendation: This upgrade is safe to merge as it contains important security patches without known breaking changes. However, a plan should be made to migrate off the EOL Struts 2.3.x series entirely.
