Apache OFBiz vulnerability

Apache OFBiz contains a forced browsing vulnerability allowing remote attackers to obtain unauthorized access to protected resources.

Verdict

Today item — known-exploited.

A forced browsing flaw in Apache OFBiz enables unauthenticated remote access to restricted functionality. The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild with high exploit probability, though not associated with ransomware campaigns.

Severity / affected
CVSS 9.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) · Affected: Apache, OFBiz. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.CVSS — CISA-assigned via the ADP container (CVE.org), version 3.1; the CNA left no metrics, so CISA's own score is used ahead of NVD.

Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-425 Forced Browsing — weakness family: Authorization / access control.CWE — CNA-assigned (CVE.org); the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.

CISA SSVC (triage disposition)
Exploitation: active · Automatable: yes · Technical Impact: totalCISA's own stakeholder-specific triage inputs, published in the CVE record (CISA Coordinator role). NOTE: this is CISA's three decision points; the final Act/Attend/Track decision also requires a Mission & Well-being input not published here, so no overall decision is asserted.

Currency of the record
CISA added this to its KEV catalog 153 days after the CVE record was published.KEV lag = CISA-KEV dateAdded − CVE.org datePublished; a floor on how long the known-exploited flaw sat in the public record before the federal catalog listed it. Severity/weakness here is CNA- or CISA-assigned (current at disclosure), independent of NVD's analysis backlog.

Who’s exploiting it?

— attribution turns risk into urgency
Attribution not established

No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.

Why it matters

— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board
1

Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1

Attacker
I discover that OFBiz exposes administrative or sensitive endpoints without proper access controls, allowing me to bypass authentication mechanisms through direct URL manipulation.
Business
Unauthorized access to OFBiz administrative interfaces compromises confidentiality and integrity of business-critical data and operations.
2

Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2

Attacker
I enumerate and access restricted application resources by directly requesting URLs that should require authentication, gaining visibility into system configuration and sensitive information.
Business
Exposure of internal system details, user data, and configuration information increases risk of secondary attacks and regulatory compliance violations.
3

Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3

Attacker
I leverage unauthorized access to modify application state, create unauthorized accounts, or extract sensitive business data without leaving audit trails.
Business
Loss of data integrity, unauthorized system modifications, and inability to maintain audit compliance create operational and legal liability.

What to do

— defensible action
  • Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
