## Summary

Apache OFBiz, an open-source enterprise resource planning platform, has a missing authorization flaw in its financial account services that lets any logged-in user with a low-privilege account create, change, and cancel financial account transactions and balances. An attacker reaches the flaw by sending direct requests to the affected services, bypassing the permission checks that should block them.

## Affected

- Apache Software Foundation Apache OFBiz: fixed in 24.09.08

## Description

Direct Request ('Forced Browsing') to Financial Account services in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on all platforms allows an authenticated user with any valid low-privilege account to create, modify, and cancel financial account transactions and balances without appropriate permission via direct requests to the createFinAccount, updateFinAccount, deleteFinAccount, createFinAccountTrans, createFinAccountRole, createFinAccountAuth, setFinAccountTransStatus, and depositWithdrawPayments services. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.
