Description
Direct Request ('Forced Browsing') in the Content Manager component in Apache OFBiz 24.09.07 on all platforms allows an authenticated user holding only view-only content permissions (OFBTOOLS_VIEW and CONTENTMGR_VIEW) to re-parent content associations they do not own or manage via a direct POST request to the moveContentJson endpoint, which performs no permission check, unlike the equivalent updateContent/createContentAssoc/removeContentAssoc services that require genericContentPermission UPDATE. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.

Impact

A direct POST request to the moveContentJson endpoint in the OFBiz 24.09.07 Content Manager allows an authenticated user with only view permissions (OFBTOOLS_VIEW and CONTENTMGR_VIEW) to re-parent content associations they do not own. The endpoint performs no permission check, unlike the equivalent services that require genericContentPermission UPDATE, so the flaw provides a form of privilege escalation that can alter the content structure, potentially affecting confidentiality and integrity.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in all platforms running Apache OFBiz 24.09.07. Users running this release are affected and are advised to upgrade to 24.09.08, which contains the fix.

Risk and Exploitability

Although a CVSS score is not provided and the EPSS score is unavailable, the presence of an unchecked permission check indicates a high severity flaw. The likely attack vector is a direct HTTP POST over an authenticated session, and the exploitation does not require any privileged account beyond an ordinary view‑only user. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but it remains a critical privilege escalation risk.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch to upgrade to Apache OFBiz 24.09.08
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, block or rate‑limit direct access to the moveContentJson endpoint using an API gateway or firewall until the patch is applied
  • Audit and restrict the usage of view‑only permissions to only necessary user accounts and eliminate accidental permission leakage
