Kingdom: Environment
This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.

Struts 1 applications that use
ActionForms are vulnerable to ClassLoader manipulation.Explanation
ClassLoader manipulation allows an attacker to access and modify the underlying application server settings. On certain applications servers like Tomcat 8, an attacker may tweak these settings to upload a web shell and execute arbitrary commands.
