## Affected

- Apache Software Foundation Apache OFBiz: fixed in 24.09.08

## Description

Missing Authorization in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on all platforms allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to disclose internal business records — including organization, employee, product catalog, and product-store data — by requesting several helper endpoints across the Human Resources, Catalog, and Order Manager applications that are configured to skip authentication and perform no permission check before returning the requested record. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.
