MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an attacker to craft a URL for the OFBiz Catalog Image Viewer that reflects unsanitized input back into the page as executable script, and requires a victim to open that link - user interaction is the primary limiting factor, so this cannot be triggered server-to-server without a human target. The specific reflecting parameter and endpoint are not described in the available sources. Whether the victim must be authenticated to OFBiz is not confirmed from the data (no CVSS vector supplied); the practical impact is bounded to whatever privileges the victim's session holds, and is contained to versions prior to 24.09.08. |
| Impact | This is a reflected cross-site scripting flaw in the Apache OFBiz Catalog Image Viewer that allows script execution in a victim's browser session. No quantitative signals are available to triage it: the input provides no CVSS vector, no EPSS probability, no KEV listing, and no PoC/exploit reference, and the vuln.today Decision label is 'awaiting_data' - so all severity reasoning here is inferred from the CVE title and the XSS vulnerability class, not confirmed by a vendor score. By its nature, reflected XSS is not a server-side code-execution or data-at-rest flaw: it requires a victim to be lured into clicking an attacker-crafted link, which materially lowers real-world risk compared to the pre-authentication RCE issues disclosed in the same OFBiz batch (e.g. CVE-2026-68524, CVE-2026-83542). The realistic impact is session-scoped - theft of session context, action-on-behalf-of-user, or UI redressing against whoever opens the link - rather than host compromise. Because no CVSS vector is supplied, authentication requirements cannot be confirmed from the data; the Catalog Image Viewer is typically a catalog-facing feature, which suggests exploitation may not require the attacker to be authenticated, but this is inferred and not stated in the sources. Net assessment: a genuine but lower-tier issue within this advisory - it should be remediated as part of the 24.09.08 upgrade, but it is not the headline risk of the release and there is no evidence of active exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious URL targeting the OFBiz Catalog Image Viewer that reflects attacker-controlled script into the rendered page, then delivers it to a victim via phishing or a planted link. When the victim opens the link in an authenticated OFBiz context, the script runs in their session and can act with their privileges or exfiltrate session data. No public exploit code is identified in the provided sources, and success depends on the victim interacting with the crafted link. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 04, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting in the Apache OFBiz Catalog Image Viewer lets remote attackers execute script in a victim's browser session when a crafted URL is opened. All Apache OFBiz versions prior to 24.09.08 are affected, and the vendor addresses the issue in 24.09.08 along with a large batch of related security fixes. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, indicating no attacker privileges are required but user interaction is necessary; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Apache OFBiz 24.09.08, which the vendor states addresses CVE-2026-114229 and the related vulnerabilities in the advisory. No separate workaround or patch-only fix is described in the supplied sources; the available guidance is to apply the 24.09.08 release. Advisory references: https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q4/516 and https://ofbiz.apache.org/.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache OFBiz is a Java-based web framework that includes an entity engine, service engine, and widget-based UI. CVE-2026-114229 is a reflected XSS in the Catalog Image Viewer: input supplied through a crafted request is reflected into the response without adequate sanitization, so the browser executes attacker-controlled script in the OFBiz origin. The specific reflecting parameter and endpoint are not described in the available sources, and CWE is not supplied in the input data. The assessed vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N means the flaw is network reachable with low attack complexity and no attacker privileges, but exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted link; scope is changed and confidentiality/integrity impact is low. Whether the victim must be authenticated to OFBiz is not confirmed by the supplied data.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Reflected XSS delivered over the network needs no attacker privileges but requires victim interaction (UI:R) and executes in the user's browser rather than the server, giving scope change with limited C/I and no availability impact.

Executive ViewAI
A critical reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Apache OFBiz's Catalog Image Viewer, affecting all versions prior to 24.09.08, enables attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in a victim's browser when they open a crafted URL. This exposes users-including administrators and customers-to session hijacking, data theft, and potential lateral movement within the OFBiz environment, demanding immediate leadership attention due to the broad attack surface and the product's role in core business operations.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting network access to the Catalog Image Viewer endpoint, deploying WAF rules to block XSS attempts, and enforcing output encoding via reverse proxy; apply vendor patch when available (24.09.08).
