Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Apache OFBiz allows an attacker to execute remote commands. This issue affects Apache OFBiz version 17.12.07 and prior versions. Upgrade to at least 17.12.08 or apply patches at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12297.
Apache OFBiz has unsafe deserialization prior to 17.12.06. An unauthenticated attacker can use this vulnerability to successfully take over Apache OFBiz.
The /webtools/control/xmlrpc endpoint in OFBiz XML-RPC event handler is exposed to External Entity Injection by passing DOCTYPE declarations with executable payloads that discloses the contents of files in the filesystem. In addition, it can also be used to probe for open network ports, and figure out from returned error messages whether a file exists or not. This affects OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.04.
The "Blog", "Forum", "Contact Us" screens of the template "ecommerce" application bundled in Apache OFBiz are weak to Stored XSS attacks. Mitigation: Upgrade to 16.11.06 or manually apply the following commits on branch 16.11: 1858438, 1858543, 1860595 and 1860616
An RCE is possible by entering Freemarker markup in an Apache OFBiz Form Widget textarea field when encoding has been disabled on such a field. This was the case for the Customer Request "story" input in the Order Manager application. Encoding should not be disabled without good reason and never within a field that accepts user input. Mitigation: Upgrade to 16.11.06 or manually apply the following commit on branch 16.11: r1858533
