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 Authentication 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 · moderate confidence

Apache OFBiz versions prior to 24.09.06 contain an improper authentication vulnerability that allows attackers to potentially bypass authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorized access to the system. The medium severity (CVSS 5.3) indicates the attack can be carried out with low complexity, requiring no privileges or user interaction.

MitigationUpgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.06 or later to resolve the improper authentication vulnerability. This is a direct version upgrade rather than a configuration change.

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. Locate the Apache OFBiz installation
    Identify the directory where Apache OFBiz is installed. Check common locations such as /opt/ofbiz, /usr/local/ofbiz, or a custom installation path. Look for the main OFBiz directory containing subfolders like framework, applications, and specialpurpose.
    Affected if OFBiz is not installed in the searched locations.
  2. Find the version file or build artifact
    Within the OFBiz installation directory, locate the file that contains version information. This may be a build.gradle, build.xml, gradle.properties, or a version.txt file in the root of the OFBiz installation. Open this file to read the declared version number.
    Affected if No version file is found within the OFBiz installation directory.
  3. Extract the installed version number
    Read the version number from the identified version file. Common keys to look for include 'version', 'ofbizVersion', or a version number directly in the filename such as 'OFBiz-24.09.x'. Note the full version string exactly as it appears.
    Affected if The version file exists but does not contain a readable version number.
  4. Compare version against the affected range
    Compare the extracted version to 24.09.06. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 24.09.06. Determine if your version number is lower than 24.09.06, or if the version is unspecified and the installation predates this release.
    Affected if The installed version is less than 24.09.06, indicating the improper authentication bypass vulnerability is present.

If Apache OFBiz is installed with a version lower than 24.09.06, the environment is affected by CVE-2026-31387 and the authentication bypass vulnerability can be exploited.
