Technical details

The vulnerability exists in ContentWorker's renderContentAsText method, which resolves OFBiz services to invoke from a persisted Content row's serviceName field—a field writable by users with only CONTENTMGR_CREATE or CONTENTMGR_UPDATE permissions. Attack parameters are built directly from the HTTP request with no allow-list, ownership check, or authentication requirement. An unauthenticated attacker can request the public showHelpPublic view against a malicious Content row to trigger arbitrary service invocation.
