CVE-2026-73577: Apache OFBiz authorization bypass in RequestHandler

CVE-2026-73577 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-05

Apache OFBiz is an enterprise resource planning framework used to manage business processes. A flaw in how it handles authentication allows an attacker to bypass login requirements and access protected pages by appending them as path suffixes to public URLs. This could expose sensitive administrative functions or data to unauthorized users.

Technologies: Apache OFBiz. Vendors: Apache.

Technical details

An incorrect authorization check in the RequestHandler servlet permits path traversal-style bypass of authentication: appending a protected view path (e.g., /showPortalPage) to a public endpoint (e.g., /ListLocales) causes the authorization check to evaluate the public component while rendering the protected suffix. The vulnerability affects unauthenticated remote attackers and requires no user interaction.
