CVE-2024-45507
Published: 04 September 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-45507 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Apache Ofbiz. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, ranked in the top 0.4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-45507 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and code injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-918 and CWE-94, that affects Apache OFBiz versions prior to 18.12.16. The flaw received a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting network-accessible attack vectors with no required authentication or user interaction and full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted requests that trigger unauthorized server-side resource access or arbitrary code execution within the OFBiz application. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to read or modify sensitive data, execute injected code, and potentially pivot to other internal systems reachable by the OFBiz server.
Apache OFBiz project advisories and the associated security bulletin direct users to upgrade immediately to the fixed release 18.12.16; the correction is also referenced in the project download page and the OFBIZ-13132 issue tracker. The EPSS score currently stands at 0.8951 with a recorded peak of 0.9048, indicating sustained high exploitation likelihood since disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Penetration testing attempts server-side requests to internal resources, identifying SSRF weaknesses for remediation.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Outbound connections to external resources can be monitored and limited at the boundary, reducing SSRF impact.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
Detects server-side request forgery through monitoring of unexpected outbound connections.
