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.

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 version
    Check the version file in the OFBiz installation directory (typically at runtime/entitydef/version.txt or via the admin interface)
    Affected if The installed version is earlier than 24.09.06 (e.g., 24.09.05, 24.03.x, or older releases)
  2. Verify Webtools component is exposed
    Inspect the Webtools configuration in the OFBiz framework (look for webapp/webtools in the hot-deploy or framework directories) and check if the component is deployed and accessible
    Affected if The Webtools component is deployed and exposed via HTTP/HTTPS endpoints (typically at /webtools/ path)
  3. Check Webtools authorization configuration
    Review the controller.xml file within the webtools webapp (framework/webtools/webapp/webtools/WEB-INF/controller.xml) for security permissions and access controls
    Affected if The controller.xml lacks proper security permission definitions or has permission policies set to null or empty for sensitive functions
  4. Confirm Webtools functions are reachable
    Attempt to access Webtools URLs (such as /webtools/control/main, /webtools/control/EntityEngine, or similar) without authentication to test if authorization is enforced
    Affected if Unauthenticated or low-privilege users can access restricted Webtools functions or view sensitive data

You are affected if your OFBiz installation version is below 24.09.06 AND the Webtools component is deployed and accessible without proper authorization enforcement.
