## Summary

Apache OFBiz, an open-source enterprise resource planning application, has a flaw in its order returns feature that lets a logged-in user who lacks the ORDERMGR_CREATE permission save an arbitrary price on a return item through the createReturnItem service, bypassing the server-side price limit. No CVSS data or advisory impact statement is available, so the way an attacker reaches the flaw is not specified beyond requiring an authenticated account.

## Affected

## Description

Improper Input Validation in Order Returns in Apache OFBiz 24.09.07 on all platforms allows an authenticated user without the ORDERMGR_CREATE permission to persist an arbitrary price on a return item via the createReturnItem service, bypassing the intended server-computed price ceiling. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.
