MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Impact The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the target to run Apache OFBiz in multitenant mode (the multitenant deployment configuration) - the description explicitly scopes the flaw to 'multitenant deployments', where ContextFilter and LoginWorker derive a delegator name from the request-supplied userTenantId before validating the tenant. This is the key limiting factor: single-tenant OFBiz installations, which are the default, are not affected because the vulnerable per-tenant delegator lookup path is not exercised. On an affected multitenant instance, no authentication is required (CVSS PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N) - an unauthenticated network attacker simply submits many distinct userTenantId values. Exposure is further bounded by versions below 24.09.08; upgrading to 24.09.08 or later removes the condition. |
| Impact | Signals point in two directions and must be weighed carefully. The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) correctly captures a remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity trigger, and the Tags, CWE-400 and description all agree the real impact is resource exhaustion (denial of service). However, the supplied impact metrics are internally inconsistent with the mechanism: the flaw grows an in-memory cache and drives database load, which is an availability problem, yet the input vector asserts I:H (integrity high) with C:N - there is no described mechanism by which cache growth alters or corrupts data, so the I:H appears mislabeled and inflates the 9.1 score; a DoS-only scoring (A:H, I:N) is more defensible. The vuln.today decision label is act_now and a vendor patch is available, which argues for prompt remediation. Against that, EPSS is only 0.20% (10th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit reference among the four advisory links, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization - the act_now label here reflects an easy-to-exploit unauthenticated DoS with an available fix rather than observed mass exploitation. A crucial scoping caveat: the description restricts the flaw to multitenant deployments, which in Apache OFBiz is a non-default configuration, materially narrowing the exposed population below what the network/unauthenticated vector alone implies. Net: a genuine, easy DoS worth patching promptly for anyone running OFBiz multitenancy, but the headline 9.1 overstates real-world risk for the typical single-tenant deployment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker reachable over the network sends a stream of HTTP requests to a multitenant Apache OFBiz instance, each carrying a different arbitrary userTenantId value. ContextFilter/LoginWorker build a per-tenant delegator name and ask DelegatorFactory to resolve it before the tenant is confirmed to exist, and the factory's cache retains every name - including unresolved ones - so the cache grows without bound, consuming memory and database resources until availability degrades. No authentication or user interaction is required, but no public exploit code is referenced in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Nov 10, 2026
Unauthenticated resource exhaustion affects Apache OFBiz installations running in multitenant mode, where a remote client can force unbounded growth of the DelegatorFactory cache and sustained database load simply by submitting a stream of arbitrary userTenantId values. Exposure is narrow but severe where it applies: only versions before 24.09.08 that actually enable multitenant deployments exercise the vulnerable ContextFilter/LoginWorker lookup path, while the default single-tenant configuration is not affected. The assessed vector is availability-only (no confidentiality or integrity impact), no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.20% (10th percentile) - but with a vendor patch released and an act_now prioritization signal, multitenant instances should be upgraded promptly.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Denial of service in Apache OFBiz deployments running in multitenant mode allows unauthenticated remote attackers to degrade availability by supplying a userTenantId value that is honored without authentication. The advisory lists all versions prior to 24.09.08 as affected, but the independent assessment limits exposure for this CVE to multitenant installations where the userTenantId input is reachable; single-tenant deployments, the common configuration, are not affected. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, while the supplied intelligence provides no KEV entry, EPSS score, or SSVC data; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis in the supplied intelligence.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Apache OFBiz to 24.09.08 or later, which covers the entire affected range (0 < 24.09.08) and removes the vulnerable code path; consult https://ofbiz.apache.org/ and the Apache advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/7b2syzksp7klt9fvhdg0olldvs2g83lz for the release details. Because the flaw is explicitly scoped to multitenant deployments, instances that run the default single-tenant configuration do not exercise the ContextFilter/LoginWorker per-tenant delegator lookup and therefore are not exposed - operating without multitenancy is a viable interim containment measure for those who cannot upgrade immediately, at the cost of losing tenant isolation features. If neither option is available, front the application with controls that limit how many distinct userTenantId values a client can supply in a given window and monitor DelegatorFactory cache/heap growth and database load as the observable symptom, understanding that this only raises the cost of abuse rather than eliminating the unbounded-cache condition. Upgrading to 24.09.08 remains the only complete fix identified in the available data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache OFBiz is an open-source ERP/CRM/e-commerce framework built around a delegator abstraction that resolves named Delegator instances for persistence work. In multitenant deployments, the ContextFilter and LoginWorker components derive a per-tenant delegator name directly from the request-supplied userTenantId parameter and ask DelegatorFactory to resolve that name before the tenant has been confirmed to exist. DelegatorFactory's internal cache keeps every name it is asked to resolve, including names that fail to resolve, so each distinct arbitrary tenant identifier leaves a permanent cache entry. Repeated requests therefore grow the cache without bound and generate unnecessary database work, which is the classic CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) pattern of missing input cardinality control and incorrect operation ordering (validation after allocation/lookup). The trigger is a stream of distinct userTenantId values submitted over the network; no further exploitation mechanics are described in the available sources. Note that the published CVSS score is 9.1 with an integrity component, whereas the vector assessed here (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) treats the impact as availability-only; the affected-version range from EUVD is Apache OFBiz 0 < 24.09.08.

Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-74841 is a critical denial-of-service vulnerability in Apache OFBiz that only affects organizations running the platform in multitenant mode. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to cause resource exhaustion and database overload, disrupting business operations. While the default single-tenant configuration is not impacted, any multitenant deployment is at risk and should be prioritized for remediation.
Apply vendor patch.
