Apache OFBiz Nested Expression Arbitrary UEL Function Execution

critical Nessus Plugin ID 69100

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web application is affected by a code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache OFBiz hosted on the remote host is affected by a code execution vulnerability that could allow the execution of arbitrary UEL functions. Specially crafted input passed to the getInstance() method of the FlexibleStringExpander class can result in the evaluation of nested Java Unified Expression Language expressions. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary UEL functions.

Note that the application is reportedly also affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the 'View Log' page of the Webtools application; however, Nessus has not tested for this issue.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache OFBiz 10.04.06 / 11.04.03 / 12.04.02 or later.
