Application Details
OFBiz is a Java based web framework including an entity engine, a service engine and a widget based UI allowing developers to quickly prototype and develop web applications.
Vulnerability
Apache Ofbiz could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a no longer maintained XML-RPC.
Identification
By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit the 'checkLogin' function due to a flaw in the conditional block. This will return a 'success' which results in authentication bypass and code execution.
GET /webtools/control/xmlrpc;/?USERNAME=&PASSWORD=s&requirePasswordChange=YDetection
By turning this into a traffic file and matching rule, we are able to detect attempts to execute arbitrary code on the system.
