CVE-2024-25065Network attack vector

Authentication bypass via unnormalized web context path

Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Path traversal in Apache OFBiz before 18.12.12 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication through a crafted web context path. LoginWorker.hasBasePermission used an unnormalized request contextPath to select web-application permission metadata, allowing dot segments to change the authorization target. No credentials or user interaction are required, and successful requests can reach application functionality that is normally protected.
