CVE-2024-38856
Description
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).
Summary dbcve.org
Apache OFBiz versions through 18.12.14 contain an incorrect authorization vulnerability where unauthenticated endpoints can execute screen rendering code if screen definitions lack explicit permission checks and rely on endpoint configuration for security. This allows attackers to potentially access sensitive screens without authentication.
Mitigation
Upgrade to Apache OFBiz 18.12.15. Additionally, review and ensure all screen definitions explicitly check user permissions rather than relying on endpoint configuration alone.
