## How to fix

- Fixed in 24.09.08

## Technical details

A missing authorization check in RequestHandler.renderView fails to re-validate authentication when rendering saved views specified by a _LAST_VIEW_NAME_ parameter. An unauthenticated attacker can craft this parameter to bypass the original request-map authentication policy, causing protected views to be rendered from anonymous session state without re-applying authentication requirements. The vulnerability affects OFBiz 24.09 before version 24.09.08.
