Technical details
The updateLayout simple-method in LayoutEvents.xml performs an insufficient authorization check, validating only a fixed CONTENT_CREATE operation rather than checking update permissions on the actual Content record being modified. An authenticated remote attacker holding OFBTOOLS_VIEW and CONTENTMGR_VIEW permissions can relink existing RESPONSE-purpose Content records and convert arbitrary DataResources into OFBIZ_FILE/FTL resources pointing to the OFBiz access log, which can be poisoned via a crafted User-Agent header and evaluated through the showContent route to achieve arbitrary command execution.
Affected products
