CVE-2024-23946Network attack vector

Internal path disclosure via createRegister error messages

Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Information disclosure in Apache OFBiz before 18.12.12 allows remote attackers to obtain internal path names without authentication. The createRegister method returns exception messages containing filesystem paths to the web interface instead of restricting them to server logs. A crafted unauthenticated request reveals internal path names, while the published assessment identifies no direct data modification or service interruption.
