MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No authentication is required to deliver the malicious payload, as confirmed by CVSS PR:N; however, a victim user must actively interact with a crafted link or page (UI:R), meaning passive exploitation without social engineering is not possible. The scope change (S:C) indicates the XSS payload executes in a browser security context beyond the vulnerable OFBiz component itself. Exploitation is further limited by SSVC Automatable: no, ruling out worm-like mass exploitation. Path traversal and code injection primitives likely require specific endpoint or parameter conditions not fully detailed in available data - the exact feature or route affected is not disclosed in the advisory text. Defenders should verify whether OFBiz is internet-exposed versus internal-only, as internal deployment significantly reduces realistic attacker reach. |
| Impact | The CVSS 6.1 Medium score is driven by network vector, low complexity, no required privileges, but mandatory user interaction (UI:R) and a changed scope (S:C). The UI:R requirement directly aligns with SSVC's Automatable: no - mass automated exploitation is not feasible without a mechanism to trick users into following crafted links. EPSS at 0.03% (9th percentile) corroborates a low near-term exploitation probability despite the multi-CWE nature of the issue. SSVC Technical Impact of partial is consistent with the CVSS C:L/I:L/A:N profile. The combination of XSS, path traversal, and code injection in a single ticket is a meaningful escalation signal: a skilled attacker could use XSS as an entry point and chain path traversal or template injection for higher-impact post-authentication actions. However, no KEV listing and no confirmed POC mean this risk remains theoretical. Priority should be moderate - patch promptly in internet-exposed OFBiz instances, but this does not warrant emergency response over confirmed critical exploits. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious OFBiz URL embedding an XSS payload in a vulnerable parameter and delivers it via phishing email or message to an authenticated OFBiz user. When the victim clicks the link, the application reflects the unsanitized input into the response page, executing the attacker's script in the victim's browser under the OFBiz origin, enabling session token theft or unauthorized actions on the user's behalf. If path traversal or code injection vectors are also reachable through the same entry point, a more sophisticated attacker could leverage the XSS foothold to trigger server-side template injection for deeper compromise. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Cross-site scripting, path traversal, and code injection vulnerabilities in Apache OFBiz before version 24.09.06 expose unauthenticated network attackers to the ability to inject malicious scripts into web pages rendered by authenticated users, with the scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector indicating cross-origin impact such as session hijacking. The co-presence of path traversal and code injection primitives alongside XSS suggests potential for chained exploitation beyond a standard reflected XSS attack, though SSVC rates current exploitation as none and EPSS sits at 0.03% (9th percentile), indicating very low real-world exploitation probability at time of analysis. No public exploit code and no active exploitation (KEV) have been identified; vendor-released patch 24.09.06 is available.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is upgrading Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.06, as recommended by the Apache Software Foundation in their advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/1tcnkxjm0s6n1ohfb21brl25dt0hv9by. For deployments where immediate upgrade is not feasible, consider restricting public internet access to OFBiz endpoints using a WAF rule that blocks requests containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../) and common XSS payloads in URL parameters and POST bodies - note that WAF coverage of code injection via template engines is imperfect and should not substitute patching. Additionally, placing OFBiz behind an authenticated reverse proxy can mitigate the PR:N attack vector by requiring prior authentication before reaching the vulnerable endpoints, though this introduces user friction for legitimate external access. The Openwall oss-security thread at http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/05/19/18 may contain additional technical detail to inform interim mitigations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache OFBiz is an open-source Java-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) framework widely used in manufacturing, e-commerce, and retail verticals, covering inventory, accounting, and order management. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), reflecting insufficient input sanitization before rendering user-controlled data into HTML responses. The co-listed weaknesses - path traversal (CWE-22) and code injection (CWE-94) - suggest that the same unsanitized input pathways can be manipulated to escape restricted directories or inject executable code fragments, potentially via OFBiz's Groovy-based scripting engine or Freemarker template layer. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_ofbiz:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions of the application without platform restriction.
