CVE-2026-100228Apache OFBiz improper input validation
CVE-2026-100228 is a improper input validation in Apache OFBiz, rated medium (6.5 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: Medium severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Awaiting Analysis
What it is
The software trusts input it should check, so crafted values reach code that assumes they are well formed.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can change data or behaviour. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker drive the component into behaviour its authors did not intend.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 10% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade Apache OFBiz to 24.09.08 or later.
- Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
Improper Input Validation in Order Returns in Apache OFBiz 24.09.07 on all platforms allows an authenticated user without the ORDERMGR_CREATE permission to persist an arbitrary price on a return item via the createReturnItem service, bypassing the intended server-computed price ceiling. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Interfaces that accept external input. The flaw sits at the input boundary of the affected component.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- At the input boundary of the affected component. An attacker who crosses it can drive the component into behaviour its authors did not intend.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Apache OFBiz run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
