MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms remote, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction against any network-reachable Apache OFBiz instance running a version prior to 24.09.06. No non-default configuration or special deployment mode is indicated - default OFBiz installations appear vulnerable. Exploitation is limited by OS-level filesystem permissions assigned to the OFBiz service process, meaning attackers can only access files readable or writable by that account. Environments that run OFBiz behind a WAF with path traversal filtering, isolate it from the public internet, or restrict the service account to minimal filesystem access face materially reduced exposure even before patching. |
| Impact | The raw CVSS score of 6.5 with an unauthenticated network vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) appears concerning, but the composite threat picture is considerably calmer. EPSS at 0.02% (6th percentile) reflects very low empirical exploitation probability, there is no CISA KEV listing, and SSVC confirms exploitation status as 'none' with only partial technical impact. The key tension is SSVC's 'Automatable: yes' flag - if reliable exploit code surfaces, internet-scanning campaigns against OFBiz could scale rapidly given the unauthenticated vector. Impact is bounded by C:L/I:L/A:N, meaning attackers gain partial file read/write constrained by the OS process permissions of the OFBiz service account, not full code execution. This is a genuine vulnerability requiring timely patching but does not represent an immediate emergency given the absence of active exploitation signals or public exploit code. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP GET request to a publicly accessible Apache OFBiz endpoint with path traversal sequences embedded in a URL parameter or resource path, causing the server to resolve and return a file outside the application webroot - such as configuration files containing database credentials or internal API keys. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the SSVC 'Automatable: yes' classification means automated scanning tools could probe large numbers of internet-exposed OFBiz deployments at scale once attack patterns are documented. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Path traversal in Apache OFBiz before 24.09.06 exposes unauthenticated remote attackers to file read and limited file write capabilities outside the application's intended directory boundaries. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms this requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no special network position against any internet-exposed OFBiz instance. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS sits at 0.02% (6th percentile), but SSVC flags the attack as automatable - meaning if tooling emerges, mass internet scanning becomes feasible.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Apache OFBiz 24.09.06. Organizations should upgrade to this version as the primary remediation, following Apache's release notes and the advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/5hjnmt9no6mmtg8sxq3mhonzff1vkd5m. If immediate upgrade is blocked by change-control timelines, deploy WAF rules blocking common path traversal patterns (e.g., ../, %2e%2e, %252e%252e) against OFBiz HTTP endpoints - note that WAF-only controls may be bypassed by novel encoding and should be treated as temporary. Additionally, restricting external network access to OFBiz via a reverse proxy or network ACL, and running the OFBiz process under a least-privilege OS account with minimal filesystem access, limits the data an attacker can reach if exploitation occurs.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache OFBiz is an open-source Java-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) and e-commerce framework maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. The root cause is CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory), which arises when user-supplied input - typically URL path segments or request parameters - is used to construct filesystem paths without adequate canonicalization or boundary enforcement. Attackers can inject sequences such as ../, %2e%2e%2f, or other encoded variants to escape the webroot sandbox. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_ofbiz:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms every release prior to 24.09.06 is within scope. OFBiz exposes numerous HTTP endpoints across its view layer and controller framework, providing broad attack surface for path traversal probing.
