Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-54466 is an Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability, classified under CWE-94, that enables potential remote code execution (RCE) in the scrum plugin of Apache OFBiz. This issue affects Apache OFBiz versions prior to 24.09.02, but only when the scrum plugin is in use. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows remote code execution on the affected system, potentially granting full control to the attacker.

Apache advisories recommend upgrading to version 24.09.02, which resolves the issue. Additional details are available in the official JIRA ticket (OFBIZ-13276), mailing list announcement, download page, release notes for 24.09.02, and the Apache OFBiz security page.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
