CVE-2026-31380
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 · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an Expression Language Statement ('Expression Language Injection') 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.
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 confidenceExpression Language Injection vulnerability in Apache OFBiz allows attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or access sensitive data by injecting malicious expressions through user-supplied input that is not properly sanitized before being evaluated by the expression language interpreter.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Apache OFBiz versionLocate the version file (typically at 'framework/base/build.gradle' or check the release notes file in the root directory), or run: grep -r 'version' build.gradle | head -5Affected if The version shown is earlier than 24.09.06 (e.g., 24.09.05, 24.09.04, 18.12.x, etc.)
-
Check framework/base/build.gradle for versionOpen the file framework/base/build.gradle and look for the 'version' property near the top of the fileAffected if The version line reads something like 'version = "24.09.05"' or lower
-
Verify startup logs for version outputReview recent OFBiz startup logs (often in logs/console.log or logs/ofbiz.log) for a line containing 'Apache OFBiz' and a version numberAffected if The logged version is less than 24.09.06
-
Inspect web controller configurations for user input handlingExamine controller.xml files in the webapp directories (especially webtools, ecommerce, or custom applications) for any 'request' or 'field' parameters passed to service or entity operations without proper input validationAffected if Custom or unmodified controllers accept user parameters that flow directly into service calls or entity queries without sanitization
You are affected if your installed Apache OFBiz version is any release earlier than 24.09.06 and you have web endpoints that pass unsanitized user input to expression language evaluation contexts.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped24.09.06
Upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.06 or later to remediate this vulnerability.
24.09.06
- 1. Backup your current Apache OFBiz installation including database and configuration files.
- 2. Download Apache OFBiz version 24.09.06 from the official Apache repository (https://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html).
- 3. Stop the currently running OFBiz services.
- 4. Replace the existing OFBiz installation files with the new version 24.09.06 files.
- 5. Migrate any custom configurations, plugins, and data from the old version to the new installation.
- 6. Review and apply any necessary changes to configuration files based on the release notes for 24.09.06.
- 7. Start the OFBiz services and verify the application is running correctly.
- 8. Test critical functionalities to ensure the upgrade did not break existing features.
