Authenticated code execution via email template expansion
Published May 19, 2026 · Updated May 19, 2026
Code injection in Apache OFBiz email services before 24.09.06 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through crafted email content. EmailServices passes caller-controlled subject and body values to FlexibleStringExpander, causing template expressions to be evaluated instead of treated as email text. Reaching the affected email service requires authentication, and successful expansion executes attacker-supplied template logic in the OFBiz server context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
