CVE-2024-38856 is a vulnerability in Apache OFBiz’s authentication mechanism. It allows unauthorized users to access functions only meant for logged-in users. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can run any code on compromised systems, possibly gaining full control.
SonicWall found and reported a critical vulnerability, CVE-2024-38856, in Apache OFBiz’s override view feature. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to access important parts of the system by sending specific requests.
Cybersecurity researchers Zeyad Azima from SecureLayer7 and Youssef Muhammad have posted a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code for CVE-2024-38856 on GitHub. This makes it easier for attackers to use the vulnerability in their attacks.
CISA strongly recommends that all federal agencies and organizations using Apache OFBiz update their installations to version 18.12.15 or later by September 17, 2024. Failing to apply these updates could lead to attacks and severe consequences.
