Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine vulnerability in Apache OFBiz. This issue affects Apache OFBiz: before 24.09.06. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.06, which fixes the issue. Please note that in the updated version, "Data Resource" records with dataTemplateTypeId = "FTL" are no longer supported. Additionally, in the updated version, the "Ecommerce Customer" security group no longer includes content management grants. Users are advised to remove these permissions from any production site as well.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Apache OFBiz before version 24.09.06 contains an improper neutralization of special elements used in a template engine vulnerability (likely Server-Side Template Injection). Attackers with appropriate access could potentially inject malicious template code through Data Resource records with dataTemplateTypeId = 'FTL', leading to code execution. The upgrade removes FTL template support entirely and revokes content management permissions from the Ecommerce Customer security group.

MitigationUpgrade to Apache OFBiz 24.09.06 or later. Additionally, audit and remove any 'Data Resource' records using dataTemplateTypeId='FTL', and remove content management grants from the 'Ecommerce Customer' security group in production deployments.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Apache OFBiz installation and version
    Locate the OFBiz installation directory and check the version. Common locations include looking for a 'build.gradle' or 'gradle.properties' file in the OFBiz home directory, or checking the startup logs for the version number. The version is typically displayed in the logs during OFBiz startup.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 24.09.06 (e.g., 24.09.05, 18.12.x, or earlier releases).
  2. Query database for FTL Data Resource records
    Access the OFBiz database and query the 'DataResource' or 'DataResourceRole' table for records where dataTemplateTypeId = 'FTL'. This can be done via SQL query: SELECT * FROM DataResource WHERE dataTemplateTypeId = 'FTL'; or via the OFBiz web interface by navigating to the Data Resource maintenance screens.
    Affected if Any Data Resource records exist with dataTemplateTypeId set to 'FTL', indicating FreeMarker template support is in use.
  3. Check Ecommerce Customer security group permissions
    Access the OFBiz security configuration and examine the permissions assigned to the 'Ecommerce Customer' security group. This can be done via the OFBiz web interface under Security > Party Manager > Security Groups, or by querying the SECURITY_GROUP and PARTY_SECURITY_GROUP tables in the database.
    Affected if The 'Ecommerce Customer' security group has been granted content management or Data Resource management permissions (such as CONTENTMGR_CREATE, CONTENTMGR_UPDATE, or similar content-related permissions).

You are affected if your OFBiz version is below 24.09.06 AND either FTL Data Resource records exist in your database OR the Ecommerce Customer security group has content management permissions enabled.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 24.09.06 or later
Fixed in 24.09.06
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Apache OFBiz 24.09.06 or later. Additionally, audit and remove any 'Data Resource' records using dataTemplateTypeId='FTL', and remove content management grants from the 'Ecommerce Customer' security group in production deployments.

Recommended fix High confidence

24.09.06

  1. 1. Back up your current Apache OFBiz installation and database before starting the upgrade process
  2. 2. Download Apache OFBiz version 24.09.06 from the official Apache repository
  3. 3. Stop the running OFBiz services
  4. 4. Replace the existing OFBiz installation files with the new version 24.09.06, preserving your configuration and data
  5. 5. Identify and remove or convert any "Data Resource" records where dataTemplateTypeId = "FTL" (FreeMarker templates are no longer supported)
  6. 6. Review the "Ecommerce Customer" security group and remove any content management grants/permissions
  7. 7. Start OFBiz services and verify the application runs correctly
  8. 8. Test all functionality, particularly any areas that previously used FTL templates or relied on Ecommerce Customer content management permissions
Caveat FTL (FreeMarker) data templates no longer supported; Ecommerce Customer security group loses content management permissions
