Technical details
The ViewFile component in OFBiz 24.09.07's Label Manager does not properly validate the fileName parameter, allowing path traversal attacks. An authenticated user holding only LABEL_MANAGER_VIEW permission can read arbitrary .properties and .xml files by manipulating the fileName parameter, potentially exposing the JWT signing key stored on the server. This is a classic CWE-22 path traversal vulnerability requiring authentication but allowing privilege escalation.
