MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a network-reachable Apache OFBiz instance running a version before 24.09.08; per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) it is unauthenticated and needs no user interaction. The concrete prerequisites named in the description are the ability to abuse OFBiz's temporary-file handling, reach an open file descriptor, and inject a 'file:' URI that causes OFBiz to load an attacker-controlled Screen definition. Limiting factors: the specific temporary-file / file-descriptor code path must be reachable in the deployment, and instances already on 24.09.08 or later are not affected; the available sources do not describe further configuration preconditions, so whether non-default settings are required is unverified. |
| Impact | Signals point to a credible but non-emergency priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw, which is the worst-case exposure profile and drives the 7.5 base score - but note that score is carried entirely by confidentiality (C:H/I:N/A:N), with no integrity or availability impact recorded. That official scoring conflicts with the 'RCE' tag and the CWE-94 (code injection) classification: loading an attacker-controlled Screen definition in OFBiz is a code-injection primitive, yet NVD scored only information disclosure, so the true impact ceiling is ambiguous and should be verified against the vendor advisory. Threat-intel signals are cool: EPSS is 0.22% (12th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' - meaningful urgency but not act_now/emergency. Net: a genuinely exploitable unauthenticated network flaw in a patched product that warrants scheduled remediation this week, not a drop-everything response, with the caveat that the confidentiality-only CVSS may understate a code-injection impact. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted request that abuses OFBiz's temporary-file handling to reach an open file descriptor, then injects a 'file:' URI so OFBiz loads a Screen definition the attacker controls (CWE-94 code injection). Because the vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials or user interaction are needed against a vulnerable, network-reachable instance. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Nov 10, 2026
Unauthenticated code injection in Apache OFBiz allows remote attackers to make the application load an attacker-controlled Screen definition, which the widget engine then interprets as trusted presentation logic. All releases before 24.09.08 are affected, per the vendor advisory; the flaw combines abuse of temporary-file handling, access to an open file descriptor, and injection of a 'file:' URI into the Screen resolution path. An independent re-score raises the impact above the published 7.5 to include high integrity impact (C:H/I:H) rather than confidentiality only, and the EPSS score is low (0.22%, 12th percentile) with no CISA KEV entry and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis - the vendor patch to 24.09.08 is available, making this a this-week priority rather than an emergency.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Pre-authentication remote code execution in Apache OFBiz is reported when the application loads a screen definition that an attacker controls, exposing every release prior to 24.09.08. The flaw is one entry in a bulk Apache OFBiz security announcement bundling more than 40 CVEs - spanning path traversal, SQL injection, XXE, SSRF, Groovy and FreeMarker injection, authorization bypass and hard-coded credential issues - all fixed by the single upgrade to 24.09.08. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the entry carries no CISA KEV status; the priority label is awaiting_data and no EPSS score or CWE mapping was supplied, so the practical risk hinges on exposure of the screen-definition loading path, whose exact endpoint and parameters the advisory does not describe. Network reachability with no privileges required is reflected in the assessed CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), while the advisory itself leaves the authentication level unstated.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Apache OFBiz to 24.09.08, which the Apache OFBiz project names as the fixing release, and apply it to every instance including staging, integration and back-office deployments - a single unpatched internet-reachable node preserves the unauthenticated attack path. The upgrade instructions and release notes are linked from https://ofbiz.apache.org/ and the advisory thread at https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/7b2syzksp7klt9fvhdg0olldvs2g83lz (mirrored at https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q4/516). The available sources document no configuration-level workaround or feature toggle that removes the temp-file, file-descriptor or 'file:' URI behaviour, so the vendor's update is the only complete fix per the evidence; until the upgrade is completed, exposure is limited only by whether that code path is reachable from untrusted networks in the given deployment, a precondition the sources leave unverified for non-default configurations. Prioritisation per the decisioning signal is this_week: EPSS is low at 0.22% (12th percentile) and there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, but the unauthenticated, no-interaction attack profile and high confidentiality/integrity impact justify scheduling the upgrade promptly rather than deferring it.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache OFBiz is a Java-based open-source ERP/CRM framework whose UI is driven by Screen widgets - XML definitions loaded and rendered by the framework's widget engine at request time. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code / Code Injection): because a Screen definition is executable presentation logic rather than inert data, getting OFBiz to load an attacker-supplied definition is equivalent to injecting code into the application. The mechanism named in the advisory is a chain rather than a single bug: temporary-file handling is abused, an already-open file descriptor is reached, and a 'file:' URI is injected so the Screen resolution logic reads a definition controlled by the attacker instead of the intended application resource. The exact code path, the specific temp-file naming or lifecycle weakness, and the URI-scheme validation gap are not described in the available sources, so the precise trigger for each stage is not confirmed. OFBiz deployments are frequently internet-facing (e-commerce, order management, integrations), which is consistent with the network-reachable AV:N/PR:N/UI:N profile; the published CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 reflects confidentiality-only impact, while the independent assessment scores integrity impact as high as well.

Attack Technique
Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
