Unauthenticated protected-view access via missing authorization
Published Sep 4, 2024 · Updated Oct 21, 2025
Forced browsing in Apache OFBiz before 18.12.16 allows remote attackers to access protected rendered views without authentication. The web controller rendered view maps without a view-level authorization check and treated omitted request-map auth and HTTPS attributes as false. Direct network access to an OFBiz web application is sufficient; the accessible content depends on the requested application view.
