Mitigation checklist

Recommended fix / mitigation
  • To mitigate this vulnerability, disable the localized lookup configuration setting within your Apache FreeMarker deployment. This setting is enabled by default and its deactivation prevents the processing of malformed locale identifiers that could lead to path traversal. Consult your application's documentation for specific instructions on how to configure FreeMarker to disable localized lookup. A restart of the affected application or service will be required for the changes to take effect. Disabling localized lookup may impact applications that rely on this feature for internationalization.
