However, the validator XML file, validator.xml, for the RegistrationForm class includes the
validation form for the user input form field "phone" that is no longer used by the input form and the
RegistrationForm class. Any validation forms that are no longer required should be removed from
the validator XML file, validator.xml.
The existence of unused forms may be an indication to attackers that this code is out of date or
poorly maintained.

CWE-108: Struts: Unvalidated Action Form
Weakness ID : 108
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Variant
Description
Every Action Form must have a corresponding validation form.
Extended Description
If a Struts Action Form Mapping specifies a form, it must have a validation form defined under the
Struts Validator.
