Summary

Apache OFBiz, specifically its Label Manager ViewFile component, contains a flaw that lets a logged-in user who holds only the LABEL_MANAGER_VIEW permission read arbitrary properties and XML files on the server, including the generated JWT signing key. With that key, an attacker can forge an authenticated administrator session.

Read the original description

External Control of File Name or Path vulnerability in the ViewFile component of Label Manager in Apache OFBiz 24.09.07 on all platforms allows an authenticated user holding only the LABEL_MANAGER_VIEW permission to read arbitrary properties and xml files on the server, including the generated JWT signing key, enabling forgery of an authenticated administrator session, via the fileName parameter of a ViewFile request. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.
