Description
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in ServiceMultiEventHandler in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on all platforms allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to pin a server request thread for an attacker-chosen number of synchronous service dispatches, up to the signed-integer maximum, by submitting a single small HTTP request whose parameter names encode a row count via the "o" suffix used by multi-form submissions, because UtilHttp.getMultiFormRowCount derives that count from the largest such suffix with no upper bound and ServiceMultiEventHandler.invoke then loops that many times calling dispatcher.runSync, with the request-map for getFinAccountTransRunningTotalAndBalances reaching this handler with no authentication or CSRF requirement on a stock deployment. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

An unbounded multi-form row count parameter enables an attacker to trigger an arbitrary number of synchronous service dispatches within a single HTTP request. The service handler loops according to the derived count, consuming a server thread for each dispatch. Because the attacker can specify a count up to the signed integer maximum and no authentication or CSRF checks are required, an unauthenticated user can severely degrade server availability.

Affected Systems

Apache OFBiz 24.09 on all platforms, versions 24.09 through 24.09.07. These releases contain the vulnerable ServiceMultiEventHandler logic.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 7.5 and the EPSS score is not available, with no listing in CISA KEV. However, the attack path requires only a crafted HTTP request and is therefore trivial to execute. A successful exploitation could exhaust thread pools and lead to a denial of service for legitimate users.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official patch by upgrading to Apache OFBiz 24.09.08 or later.
  • Ensure configuration limits restrict multi-form row counts to a reasonable maximum to reduce the effect of the vulnerability.
  • Implement monitoring of server thread usage and request rates to detect potential resource exhaustion attacks.
