CVE-2024-47208
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and code injection vulnerability in Apache OFBiz. Attackers can exploit it to make the server send unauthorized requests to internal systems and potentially execute arbitrary code. All Apache OFBiz installations before version 18.12.17 are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Apache OFBiz
📦 What is this software?
Ofbiz by Apache
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing remote code execution, data exfiltration, and lateral movement to internal network resources.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to internal services, data leakage from internal endpoints, and potential privilege escalation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper network segmentation and input validation, though SSRF could still expose some internal services.
🎯 Exploit Status
SSRF vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity, especially when combined with code injection capabilities.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 18.12.17
Vendor Advisory: https://ofbiz.apache.org/security.html
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download Apache OFBiz 18.12.17 from the official download page. 2. Backup your current installation and data. 3. Replace the existing installation with the new version. 4. Restart the OFBiz service.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
linuxRestrict OFBiz server's outbound network access to minimize SSRF impact
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP
Input Validation Filter
allImplement request validation to block SSRF patterns
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network egress filtering to prevent SSRF requests to internal resources
- Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with SSRF protection rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check the OFBiz version in the admin interface or by examining the installation directory for version files.Check Version:
grep -r 'version' /path/to/ofbiz/ | grep -i '18.12'Verify Fix Applied:
Confirm the version is 18.12.17 or later via the admin interface or version files.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual outbound HTTP requests from OFBiz server
- Requests to internal IP addresses or localhost
- Unexpected file writes or process executions
Network Indicators:
- OFBiz server making unexpected HTTP requests to internal services
- Traffic to unusual ports from OFBiz server
SIEM Query:
