Exploitation Conditions

No authentication is required - the CVSS vector PR:N/AV:N/AC:L confirms the Webtools endpoint is reachable by any unauthenticated network client without elevated privileges or special configuration. The primary prerequisite is network reachability to the OFBiz HTTP/HTTPS service; internet-facing deployments face the broadest exposure. Exploitation is bounded by the partial impact scope (C:L/I:L/A:N) - an attacker cannot achieve full system compromise or cause service disruption through this flaw alone. No specific non-default configuration is identified as a prerequisite; all OFBiz deployments running a version before 24.09.06 with Webtools present are affected.

Impact

The CVSS 6.5 Medium score is driven by a fully network-accessible, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack path (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), which objectively represents a meaningful exposure level. However, real-world urgency is moderated by several converging signals: EPSS sits at 0.02% (4th percentile), indicating that across all observed exploitation telemetry, weaponization has not materialized; CISA KEV lists no active exploitation; and SSVC records Exploitation=none. The one concerning SSVC signal is Automatable=yes - an attacker can script the bypass without manual interaction, meaning if a working technique is published, mass exploitation becomes straightforward. Technical Impact is assessed as partial (C:L/I:L/A:N), limiting blast radius to read/write of restricted data rather than full system compromise. Overall: low immediate exploitation pressure but elevated automation risk once exploited - prioritize patching in internet-facing deployments over internal-only instances.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker with network access to an OFBiz instance sends crafted HTTP requests directly to Webtools endpoints, bypassing the application's authorization checks. Because the attack is automatable (SSVC: Automatable=yes), a scanner or script could enumerate exposed OFBiz instances and attempt the bypass at scale. Successful exploitation yields partial read and write access to data or functions gated behind Webtools authorization.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026

Improper Authorization in Apache OFBiz Webtools allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass access controls and gain partial read and write access to restricted resources. All OFBiz releases before 24.09.06 are affected. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, though SSVC flags it as automatable - meaning scripted mass-scanning is feasible once a technique is published.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.06 or later, as confirmed by the Apache Software Foundation advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/pcmfyxjyk7dg0btxqg9h7cr30yg8mr7k and the Openwall disclosure at http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/05/19/28. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict network access to the Webtools endpoint (/webtools/ URL path) via a reverse proxy or WAF rule to trusted internal IP ranges only - this directly addresses the AV:N exposure but does not fix the underlying authorization flaw and must be treated as a temporary measure. Disabling the Webtools application entirely in production environments is a stronger compensating control with the trade-off that administrative and diagnostic tooling will be unavailable.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Apache OFBiz is an open-source Java-based ERP framework; its Webtools component provides administrative, debugging, and development utilities surfaced over HTTP. CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) indicates the application performs authentication but then fails to enforce authorization policy correctly - requests for protected Webtools resources are not adequately checked against the caller's permission set before granting access. The affected scope per CPE (cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_ofbiz:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers every published OFBiz release up to but not including 24.09.06. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the flaw is reachable without credentials over a standard network path with no complexity barriers.
