CVE-2026-82916 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-05

Apache OFBiz is an open-source enterprise resource planning system that manages business data including user accounts and passwords. A missing authorization check in the XmlDsDump feature allows authenticated users with basic web tools permissions to export sensitive database contents—including password hashes—to arbitrary filesystem locations, potentially exposing them via web-accessible directories or causing file system manipulation.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 24.09.08

Restrict the OFBTOOLS_VIEW and WEBTOOLS_VIEW permissions to only trusted administrators, and disable the XmlDsDump screen if the export functionality is not required.

## Technical details

The XmlDsDump screen action in OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 writes entity data to arbitrary file paths specified by untrusted request parameters (outpath, filename) via FileOutputStream before enforcing the required ENTITY_MAINT permission check. An authenticated attacker with only OFBTOOLS_VIEW and WEBTOOLS_VIEW permissions can export any database entity and create or truncate arbitrary files, whereas the equivalent Java service entityExportAll enforces both permission validation and path allowlisting.

## Affected products

- Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08

## Timeline

- 2026-11-05: disclosed
