CVE-2026-68524: Apache OFBiz: Pre-Authentication Remote Code Execution via Attacker-Controlled Screen Definition Loading
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.39% (FIRST EPSS).
- 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.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache OFBiz 24.09.08.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache OFBiz 24.09.08 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit temporary-file handling, access an open file descriptor, and inject a "file:" URI to cause OFBiz to load an attacker-controlled Screen definition. This issue affects Apache OFBiz: before 24.09.08. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes the issue.
