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 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 confidence

Expression 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.

MitigationUpgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.06 or later to remediate this vulnerability.

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 checks

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

  1. Identify installed Apache OFBiz version
    Locate 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 -5
    Affected if The version shown is earlier than 24.09.06 (e.g., 24.09.05, 24.09.04, 18.12.x, etc.)
  2. Check framework/base/build.gradle for version
    Open the file framework/base/build.gradle and look for the 'version' property near the top of the file
    Affected if The version line reads something like 'version = "24.09.05"' or lower
  3. Verify startup logs for version output
    Review recent OFBiz startup logs (often in logs/console.log or logs/ofbiz.log) for a line containing 'Apache OFBiz' and a version number
    Affected if The logged version is less than 24.09.06
  4. Inspect web controller configurations for user input handling
    Examine 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 validation
    Affected 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.
