Description
Missing Authorization in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on all platforms allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to disclose internal business records — including organization, employee, product catalog, and product-store data — by requesting several helper endpoints across the Human Resources, Catalog, and Order Manager applications that are configured to skip authentication and perform no permission check before returning the requested record. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.

Impact

A flaw in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 lets a remote attacker access hidden helper endpoints in the Human Resources, Catalog, and Order Manager modules without authentication. The code paths return sensitive internal records – including company data, employee details, product catalog information, and store inventories – after performing no permission checks, exposing confidential business information.

Affected Systems

Apache Software Foundation’s Apache OFBiz releases 24.09 and earlier, up to but not including 24.09.08, are affected on all supported operating systems. The vulnerability exists across the HR, Catalog, and Order Manager applications on these versions.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability can be exploited over the network by constructing simple HTTP requests to the exposed helper URLs, requiring no credentials or elevated privileges. While the EPSS score is currently unavailable and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the lack of authentication combined with the breadth of data available suggests a high confidentiality risk. Given the straightforward request pattern and the potential for mass data extraction, the risk is considered high for organizations still running the vulnerable releases.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.08 or later, which removes the unauthenticated access to the helper endpoints.
  • Review the OFBiz configuration to confirm that all HR, Catalog, and Order Manager helper URLs now require proper authentication and authorization checks.
  • Implement network segmentation or firewall rules to limit external access to the OFBiz administration interfaces and helper endpoints until patching or verification is complete.
