MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, 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 network reach to the OFBiz web interface (default HTTP/HTTPS ports 80/443 or 8080/8443) and the ability to invoke the password-change endpoint - no authentication, user interaction, or non-default configuration is required per the CVSS:3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector, so any default-configured OFBiz deployment before 24.09.06 with a reachable web interface is exploitable. Limiting factors: OFBiz is most commonly deployed on internal corporate networks rather than directly internet-facing, so externally exploitable instances are a subset of the installed base; additionally, the attacker must reach the specific password-change workflow URL, which may be filtered by reverse proxies or WAFs in mature deployments. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and worth contrasting carefully: the CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H vector argues for maximum-priority patching (network-reachable, no privileges, no user interaction, full CIA impact), and SSVC Technical Impact is 'total,' yet SSVC Exploitation is 'none,' Automatable is 'no,' EPSS is only 0.07% (22nd percentile), and the CVE is not on CISA KEV. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Realistically, this is a high-priority patch for any internet-exposed OFBiz instance because OFBiz has a documented history of authentication-bypass-to-RCE chains being weaponized within weeks of disclosure (e.g., prior CVE-2023-49070, CVE-2024-45195 patterns), so the current low EPSS likely reflects newness of disclosure rather than exploit difficulty. No conflicting data was observed between the CVSS vector and the description - both consistently indicate unauthenticated network exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker locates an internet-exposed OFBiz instance (commonly via Shodan queries for OFBiz default banners), sends a crafted HTTP request to the password-change handler that exploits the improper-authentication flaw to either reset or assume a privileged account's credentials, then pivots through OFBiz's scripting/dispatcher functionality to execute operating-system commands as the OFBiz service account. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS AC:L and PR:N profile makes reliable weaponization plausible once details propagate. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 20, 2026
Remote code execution in Apache OFBiz before 24.09.06 stems from an improper authentication flaw in the password-change logic that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication and ultimately execute arbitrary code on the server. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects network-reachable, no-interaction exploitation against a widely deployed open-source ERP platform, though EPSS sits at only 0.07% and SSVC currently marks exploitation as 'none' - meaning no public exploit identified at time of analysis despite the severe technical impact.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Apache OFBiz 24.09.06 - upgrade immediately by following the Apache advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/yw4owrzl0yho1yx7oqxvr6xjkmln9tq8. Until the upgrade is deployed, restrict network exposure of the OFBiz front-end and back-end webapps (typically ports 443/8443 and 80/8080) to trusted IP ranges via firewall or reverse-proxy ACLs, and consider blocking access to the password-change and account-management endpoints (e.g., /accounting/control/, /webtools/control/ password-reset URIs) at a WAF - note that blocking these endpoints will prevent legitimate self-service password resets and break some admin workflows. Reviewing application and web-server logs for anomalous POSTs to password-change handlers and for unexpected child processes spawned by the OFBiz JVM is also recommended given the RCE outcome.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache OFBiz is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite written in Java that bundles e-commerce, CRM, accounting, manufacturing, and supply-chain modules behind a shared web/servlet stack. The CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) classification indicates the password-change workflow fails to correctly verify the requester's identity or current credentials before mutating account state, which an attacker chains into RCE - historically OFBiz RCE chains have leveraged authentication bypasses to reach the Groovy/ECA scripting endpoints (such as ViewHandlerException paths or XML-RPC/SOAP dispatchers) that interpret attacker-controlled code in the server's JVM. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_ofbiz:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all OFBiz releases prior to the fixed 24.09.06 build.

Improper Authentication vulnerability in Apache OFBiz via Password-Change Logic Flaw Leading to Remote Code Execution
This issue affects Apache OFBiz: before 24.09.06.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.06, which fixes the issue.
Executive ViewAI
Apache OFBiz contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-45434) that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on ERP systems with zero user interaction required. This affects all organizations running OFBiz before version 24.09.06 and poses risk of complete infrastructure compromise. While no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, the critical technical severity requires immediate patching.
Apply vendor patch.
