MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid authenticated session on the target OFBiz instance with at least low-privilege permissions (CVSS PR:L), and the target must be a network-reachable Apache OFBiz deployment running any version before 24.09.07. No user interaction from a second user is required (UI:N), no special non-default configuration is called out by the advisory, and no specific OFBiz module is named as the prerequisite. Practical limits on exploitation are therefore the attacker's ability to obtain low-tier credentials - either via self-registration if enabled on the deployment, via existing customer/partner/employee accounts, or via credential reuse - and network reachability to the OFBiz web tier; deployments that disable self-registration and restrict the web tier to authenticated VPN users substantially shrink the exploitable population. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity bug requiring only a low-privileged account and no user interaction, with total impact on the OFBiz instance - consistent with SSVC Technical Impact: total. However, several signals temper urgency: EPSS is 0.02% (4th percentile), SSVC Exploitation status is 'none', CISA has not added the CVE to KEV, and no POC has been published in the references provided, so this is currently a high-severity-but-not-yet-actively-exploited issue. The realistic priority depends on exposure: internet-facing OFBiz deployments where self-registration or weak account provisioning is permitted should patch promptly, while internal deployments with tightly controlled accounts have a longer runway. No conflicts between sources were identified; the main missing datapoint is independent technical detail on which endpoint or service performs the broken authorization check. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or registered a low-privileged OFBiz account (for example a customer, supplier, or limited employee login on an internet-facing storefront or partner portal) logs in over HTTPS and issues a crafted request to an endpoint whose authorization check is broken, causing OFBiz to execute the request under elevated privileges. This grants administrative control of the ERP instance, enabling theft of customer and financial data, manipulation of orders or accounting entries, and deployment of further footholds. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and total technical impact make this an attractive target once a POC is released. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv3 – Jun 12, 2026
Privilege escalation in Apache OFBiz versions prior to 24.09.07 allows a low-privileged authenticated user to elevate their permissions to a higher-privileged role, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the ERP system. The flaw is rooted in improper authorization (CWE-285) and is exploitable remotely over the network with low complexity once valid low-tier credentials are held. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring (0.02%) plus CISA SSVC (Exploitation: none) suggest no observed exploitation activity yet.
Earlier versions of this analysis (2)
Privilege escalation in Apache OFBiz before 24.09.07 allows a low-privileged authenticated user to elevate to higher privileges over the network, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected instance. The flaw is tagged as an authorization weakness (CWE-285) and tracked under EUVD-2026-36169; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile), but CVSS is High (8.8) and SSVC rates technical impact as total.
Privilege escalation in Apache OFBiz before 24.09.07 allows a low-privileged authenticated user to bypass authorization controls in the updateOrRemove operation and obtain higher privileges than intended. The vulnerability stems from insufficient authorization enforcement on a specific action handler within the OFBiz service/controller layer. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis, and a vendor-released patch is available in version 24.09.07.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.07 or later, which the project explicitly identifies as the fixed release; this is the primary and recommended remediation per the Apache advisory at https://ofbiz.apache.org/ and the disclosure at https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q2/873. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls include restricting OFBiz web access (typically ports 443/8443 and 80/8080) to trusted networks or VPN users via firewall or reverse-proxy ACLs to reduce the pool of potential low-privilege attackers, disabling any self-registration or anonymous account creation flows in the OFBiz user-management configuration to prevent attackers from trivially obtaining the required low-privilege foothold (side effect: blocks legitimate customer/partner self-onboarding), and tightening permission-group assignments so that low-tier users carry only the minimum security groups required, with audit-log monitoring on PartyManager, WebTools, and admin service invocations to detect anomalous escalation attempts. None of these workarounds eliminate the underlying authorization flaw, so they should be treated as bridging measures until 24.09.07 is deployed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache OFBiz is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite providing accounting, CRM, e-commerce, manufacturing, and supply chain modules built on a Java/Groovy stack with a permission-based security model centered on user logins, security groups, and permission services. The root cause is CWE-285 (Improper Authorization), meaning an authorization check is missing, incorrectly applied, or bypassable on a sensitive code path - allowing a session holding low-privilege permissions to invoke or reach functionality that the OFBiz permission service should have restricted to administrative or higher-tier users. Because OFBiz exposes a wide range of web-facing controllers and service endpoints, an authorization gap of this class typically lets an attacker pivot from an end-user account to administrative service execution within the same application context.

Executive ViewAI
Apache OFBiz prior to version 24.09.07 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows users with standard system credentials to gain full administrative control of the entire ERP platform. This directly threatens the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of financial records, supply chain data, and operational information across the organization. Organizations must patch immediately to close this critical access vector.
Vendor-released patch: Apache OFBiz 24.09.07. Until patching is complete, restrict user account creation and implement enhanced monitoring for privilege escalation attempts in application logs; however, these interim measures do not mitigate the underlying vulnerability.
