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.
01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreReported exploitation
292 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2025-02-04).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.99983 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: Apache, OFBiz. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-425 Forced Browsing — weakness family: Authorization / access control.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
02
Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution 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.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
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.
04
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.
