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 | Exploitation requires a victim user with an active OFBiz session to click or follow a crafted URL containing the XSS payload - mandatory user interaction (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor. The attacker requires no authentication and no elevated privileges (PR:N) on the OFBiz instance. No special server-side configuration or non-default feature needs to be enabled; the flaw affects OFBiz's default web page generation behavior across all versions before 24.09.06. Exploitation is bounded by: (1) the requirement for victim interaction - mass unauthenticated automated exploitation without a social engineering vector is not possible per SSVC 'automatable: no'; (2) the need to target a specific authenticated user session to achieve meaningful impact beyond benign script injection; and (3) the impact ceiling of C:L/I:L, which limits what injected scripts can access within the browser's same-origin policy constraints. |
| Impact | The CVSS 6.1 Medium score is consistent with a standard reflected XSS: network-reachable (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but constrained by mandatory user interaction (UI:R) and limited C:L/I:L impact. EPSS at 0.03% (8th percentile) places this well below the exploitation probability threshold that would warrant emergency response. SSVC reinforces this: exploitation is 'none,' the attack is not automatable (a victim must interact with a crafted payload), and technical impact is only partial. The combination of these signals indicates a genuine but non-urgent patching priority - this is not a 'high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk' case, nor is it a silent sleeper; it is a textbook medium-severity XSS with no current threat activity. Organizations running OFBiz internet-facing with active authenticated user sessions represent the highest-risk deployment profile. No conflicting signals between CVSS, EPSS, and SSVC were identified. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies an OFBiz endpoint that reflects unsanitized query parameters back into a web page and crafts a URL embedding a JavaScript payload (e.g., a cookie-stealing script). The attacker distributes this URL via phishing email to OFBiz users; when a logged-in user clicks the link, the script executes in their browser, exfiltrating the session cookie to an attacker-controlled server and enabling full session takeover within the OFBiz ERP environment. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but AC:L and PR:N indicate low barrier to manual exploitation once a vulnerable endpoint is identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Cross-site scripting in Apache OFBiz before version 24.09.06 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages rendered in victims' browsers, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized ERP actions performed on behalf of the victim. The CVSS scope change (S:C) confirms the injected script escapes the OFBiz application context and executes in the victim's browser security domain. No active exploitation is confirmed - SSVC rates exploitation as 'none,' EPSS sits at 0.03% (8th percentile), and no public exploit code is referenced; however, a vendor-released patch to version 24.09.06 is available and should be applied.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.06 or later, which resolves this issue per the vendor advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/1fblqdo89d3ps8kgtcnkcq8sh7gwkcpn. If immediate patching is not feasible, deploy a Web Application Firewall with XSS filtering rules targeting OFBiz endpoints; note that WAF rules require tuning to avoid false positives on legitimate OFBiz form submissions. Implementing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) response headers (specifically default-src 'self' and script-src without 'unsafe-inline') will significantly reduce the impact of any injected script by preventing inline execution and restricting external script loading - this is an effective compensating control but does not eliminate the underlying injection flaw. For public-facing deployments, consider restricting access to OFBiz web endpoints by IP allowlist to limit the attacker's ability to deliver the payload, accepting the trade-off of reduced accessibility.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache OFBiz is an open-source Java-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) framework covering order management, accounting, and manufacturing workflows. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), meaning user-supplied input reaches the HTTP response without adequate sanitization or output encoding, allowing an attacker to embed arbitrary JavaScript or HTML. The CVSS vector's Scope:Changed metric confirms the injected code executes outside OFBiz's own security domain - in the victim's browser context - which is the defining characteristic of a classic reflected or stored XSS. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_ofbiz:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all OFBiz releases across all platforms up to the fix boundary.
