Summary

Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 incorrectly validates JWTs in its password-reset and login flows (CWE-303). An attacker who obtains a user's password-reset token, for example through email interception or log exposure, can use it at login instead of the password-change flow and get a full session. If the targeted account is an administrator, the attacker gains administrative access.

Description from the CNA

Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm in the password-reset and login JWT validation in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on all platforms allows an attacker who has obtained a user's password-reset token (via email interception, log exposure, or a man-in-the-middle on the mail transport) to authenticate as that user and obtain a full, unrestricted session, including administrative access if the targeted account is an administrator, by submitting the token directly to the login endpoint instead of the intended password-change flow. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.
