CVE-2024-45507: Apache OFBiz: Prevent use of URLs in files when loading them from Java or Groovy, leading to a RCE

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 68/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 96.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache OFBiz 18.12.16.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache OFBiz 18.12.16 or later.
