CVE-2026-81815Apache OFBiz SQL injection
CVE-2026-81815 is a SQL injection in Apache OFBiz, rated critical (9.8 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: Critical, and reachable over the network without an account.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Awaiting Analysis
What it is
Input is pasted into a database query, so an attacker can rewrite the query to read or change data.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read or change records in the data store behind the application.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. It can be exploited automatically, at scale. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 20% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade Apache OFBiz to 24.09.08 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
SQL Injection in the entity engine's generic performFind service in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on MySQL/MariaDB-backed deployments allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to disclose arbitrary rows from the queried entity by submitting an ignore-case find request (e.g. _ic=Y) with a crafted value, causing SqlJdbcUtil.addValueSingle to inline the EntityFunction-wrapped value directly into the SQL text using ANSI-only single-quote doubling instead of binding it as a parameter, which is insufficient on MySQL/MariaDB because those dialects also honor backslash escapes, letting a backslash-terminated payload break out of the string literal and turn the WHERE clause into a tautology. The default Derby datasource and PostgreSQL are not affected because they do not interpret backslash as an escape character in this context. 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
- Services that build database or directory queries. The flaw sits between the application and its data store.
- Databases. The flaw sits between the application and its data store.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between the application and its data store. An attacker who crosses it can read or change records in the data store behind the application.
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?
