CVE-2021-25958Network attack vector

Database schema disclosure via oversized login password

Published Aug 30, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Information disclosure in Apache OFBiz 17.12.01 through 17.12.07 allows remote attackers to read database schema details via login errors. LoginServices stores an oversized supplied password in UserLoginHistory.passwordUsed, then appends the resulting database exception to the response when the field limit is exceeded. Reaching the disclosure requires an account created with a password longer than the field's storage capacity; the exposed schema details support further reconnaissance.
