Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the target Apache OFBiz instance is deployed in multi-tenant mode - the vulnerability is explicitly scoped to multi-tenant deployments per the CVE description; single-tenant instances are not identified as affected. Beyond this configuration requirement, no authentication is required (PR:N), no user interaction is needed (UI:N), and network access suffices (AV:N), making the attack straightforward against any exposed multi-tenant instance. The primary limiting factor is the multi-tenant deployment mode, which narrows the exposed population relative to the total OFBiz install base. Confidentiality impact is bounded (C:L), meaning attackers gain only partial information access rather than full data exfiltration capability.

Impact

The NVD-assigned CVSS 5.3 Medium score reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with limited confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. This is broadly consistent with the description - a cross-tenant information disclosure without write or disruption capability. EPSS at 0.02% (4th percentile) is markedly low, indicating minimal observed exploitation activity in the wild at time of analysis. SSVC signals a mixed picture: Exploitation is 'none' (corroborating the low EPSS), but Automatable is 'yes', meaning a successful exploit could be scripted at scale against exposed instances, and Technical Impact is rated 'partial', aligning with C:L. No POC code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Taken together, this vulnerability represents a real but currently low-priority issue: real-world risk is meaningfully constrained to multi-tenant deployments, and there is no evidence of active targeting. The automatable nature warrants timely patching over emergency response.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to a publicly exposed Apache OFBiz instance operating in multi-tenant mode, exploiting the access control bypass to cross tenant boundaries and read limited confidential data belonging to another tenant. No POC exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the SSVC assessment of Automatable:Yes indicates that such requests could be scripted and run at scale against internet-exposed OFBiz deployments.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026

Improper Access Control in Apache OFBiz multi-tenant deployments exposes confidential data across tenant boundaries to unauthenticated remote attackers via a network-accessible flaw (AV:N/PR:N). All versions prior to 24.09.06 are affected, limited to multi-tenant configurations. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and the EPSS score of 0.02% at the 4th percentile indicates very low observed exploitation interest at time of analysis, though the attack is automatable per SSVC assessment.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.06 or later, which includes the vendor-released fix per the Apache advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/npjchvnpnosoqpto46s2om12jd9s7py7. This is confirmed as a vendor-released patch for version 24.09.06. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, organizations running multi-tenant OFBiz deployments should consider disabling multi-tenant functionality if operationally possible - this removes the attack surface entirely but eliminates tenant-separation capabilities. Alternatively, restricting network access to OFBiz tenant-switching or management endpoints via firewall rules or reverse proxy ACLs can reduce exposure, though this may impact legitimate tenant workflows. There are no documented workarounds that fully substitute for the patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Apache OFBiz is an open-source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and e-commerce framework maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_ofbiz:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-284 (Improper Access Control), a class of vulnerabilities where the software fails to restrict access to resources or functionality in a manner consistent with its security policy - in this case, failing to enforce tenant isolation boundaries in multi-tenant mode. The tags 'Authentication Bypass' indicate the access control mechanism can be circumvented without credentials, consistent with the PR:N CVSS metric. The confidentiality impact (C:L) suggests partial, bounded information disclosure rather than full data exfiltration.
