| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated OFBiz session holding only the webtools base permissions OFBTOOLS_VIEW and WEBTOOLS_VIEW; the ENTITY_MAINT permission that the export feature advertises and refuses to render for is NOT required, because the XmlDsDump screen action writes entity data via new FileOutputStream on the unvalidated outpath and filename request parameters before the ENTITY_MAINT check runs. The attacker-controlled outpath/filename can target any filesystem path the OFBiz process can write, including a web-served docroot. Limiting factors: a valid low-privilege account with webtools access is mandatory (not anonymous), only Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 is affected, and impact at the chosen path is bounded by the OS write permissions of the OFBiz process; written file content is entity data rather than fully attacker-defined bytes. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N, score 7.1) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact driven by exposure of UserLogin currentPassword hashes. PR:L is consistent with the description: exploitation requires an authenticated account holding only the webtools base permissions (OFBTOOLS_VIEW, WEBTOOLS_VIEW), notably bypassing the ENTITY_MAINT permission the feature claims to enforce - a genuine authorization-bypass primitive rather than a theoretical issue. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or POC/exploit reference is present in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; this tempers urgency relative to the high confidentiality impact. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', aligning with a real but not emergency priority: a credentialed attacker can dump password hashes and write to a web docroot, but the authentication requirement and absence of known exploitation argue for prompt scheduled patching rather than crisis response. Signals are internally consistent - no conflicting attack-vector/description mismatch - but the risk hinges on how freely low-privilege webtools accounts are granted in a given deployment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker who already holds a low-privileged OFBiz account with only OFBTOOLS_VIEW and WEBTOOLS_VIEW invokes the XmlDsDump screen action with crafted outpath and filename parameters. Because the FileOutputStream write runs before the ENTITY_MAINT permission check, they export the UserLogin entity (including currentPassword hashes) to a web-served docroot and then retrieve it over HTTP, or alternatively truncate an arbitrary file the OFBiz process can write. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Nov 05, 2026
Missing authorization in the Apache OFBiz webtools XmlDsDump screen lets a remote authenticated user who holds only the base webtools permissions (OFBTOOLS_VIEW, WEBTOOLS_VIEW) export the contents of any database entity - including UserLogin records with their currentPassword hashes - to any filesystem path the OFBiz process can write, and can also create arbitrary directories or truncate arbitrary existing files there. The ENTITY_MAINT permission that the export feature advertises is never enforced, because the screen action opens a new FileOutputStream on the attacker-supplied outpath and filename parameters before the permission check runs; the equivalent Java service entityExportAll does enforce both a permission check and a file-path allow-list. Only OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 is affected, and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, though the decision signal places remediation in the current week given the credential-hash exposure.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Apache OFBiz versions prior to 24.09.08 expose an entity export weakness in the webtools component: the xmldsdump function lets a caller specify both the entity to be exported and the filesystem path the XML dump is written to, without constraining either. An attacker with access to that webtools function can therefore read arbitrary entity data out of the OFBiz database and write the resulting file to a location of their choosing - a combination of information disclosure and uncontrolled file write. The assessed vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, but the actual privilege required to reach xmldsdump is not confirmed in the available sources, and it is part of a large bundled Apache OFBiz security release (24.09.08) covering dozens of CVEs; there is no public exploit reference, no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score and no NVD/vendor CVSS, so the aggregator Decision label remains 'awaiting_data'.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Apache OFBiz to 24.09.08, which the vendor states fixes this issue; this is the only complete remediation because it corrects the ordering defect that lets the XmlDsDump screen action write before the ENTITY_MAINT permission check runs. Consult the Apache OFBiz site at https://ofbiz.apache.org/ and the oss-security advisory at https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q4/516 for release and download details before upgrading. Where an immediate upgrade is not possible, the exposure is bounded by the requirement for an authenticated account holding OFBTOOLS_VIEW and WEBTOOLS_VIEW, so limiting those webtools base permissions to users who genuinely need back-office access reduces the reachable attack surface - accepting that this removes webtools functionality from the accounts it is stripped from and does not correct the underlying authorization-ordering flaw. Rotating or otherwise invalidating UserLogin credential material is warranted for any deployment where an untrusted user has held webtools base permissions, since exported UserLogin records contain currentPassword hashes.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path), realized inside Apache OFBiz's webtools application. The XmlDsDump screen action takes the outpath and filename request parameters straight into a new FileOutputStream, so both the destination directory and the file name are attacker-controlled, and the write happens before the screen's ENTITY_MAINT authorization check is evaluated. This ordering defect is what elevates a low-privilege webtools session into a full entity-dump primitive covering sensitive tables such as UserLogin, whose currentPassword hashes are readable in the exported output. The destination is constrained only by the OS write permissions of the OFBiz process account, and choosing a web-served docroot directory turns the entity dump into a network-retrievable file. Because FileOutputStream semantics are destructive by default, the same parameters also permit creating arbitrary directories and truncating existing files at writable paths, which accounts for the integrity component of the assessed vector. The Java service entityExportAll is the correctly hardened counterpart: it checks authorization and validates the output path against an allow-list before writing, and the screen action diverges from it on both counts. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity path that still requires a valid low-privilege account, with no user interaction; the trigger conditions beyond the parameter handling described above are not detailed further in the available sources.

Executive ViewAI
A high-severity authorization flaw in Apache OFBiz (versions 24.09 before 24.09.08) allows authenticated users with basic webtools access to export sensitive database content, including hashed user passwords, to arbitrary filesystem locations. This undermines the confidentiality of the entire user directory and adjacent file system, exposing credential material that could enable broader compromise. Leadership should prioritize remediation this week given the potential for lateral movement and regulatory implications around password protection.
