Apache OFBiz Log4Shell Direct Check (CVE-2021-44228)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 156473

Language:

Synopsis

The web application running on the remote web server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache OFBiz running on the remote web server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the bundled Apache Log4j logging library. Apache Log4j is vulnerable due to insufficient protections on message lookup substitutions when dealing with user controlled input. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this, via a web request, to execute arbitrary code with the permission level of the running Java process.

This plugin requires that both the scanner and target machine have internet access.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache OFBiz version 8.12.03 or later.

Upgrading to the latest version of Apache OFBiz is highly recommended as intermediate versions / patches have known high severity vulnerabilities and the vendor is updating their advisories often as new research and knowledge about the impact of Log4j is discovered.
