Descriptions

Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Apache OFBiz.

This issue affects Apache OFBiz: through 18.12.14.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 18.12.15, which fixes the issue.

Unauthenticated endpoints could allow execution of screen rendering code of screens if some preconditions are met (such as when the screen definitions don't explicitly check user's permissions because they rely on the configuration of their endpoints).

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Apache OFBiz. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the resolveURI method. The issue results from improper URI validation. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication on the system.

Apache OFBiz contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that could allow remote code execution via a Groovy payload in the context of the OFBiz user process by an unauthenticated attacker.
