• writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default)
• support for partial PUT (enabled by default)
• a target URL for security sensitive uploads that was a sub-directory of a target URL for public uploads
• attacker knowledge of the names of security sensitive files being uploaded
• the security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT

If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to perform remote code execution:
