Summary
Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on all platforms has a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862). A remote unauthenticated attacker can request several helper endpoints in the Human Resources, Catalog and Order Manager applications and retrieve organization, employee, product catalog and product-store records. These endpoints are configured to skip authentication and perform no permission check before returning the record.

Description from the CNA
Missing Authorization in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on all platforms allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to disclose internal business records — including organization, employee, product catalog, and product-store data — by requesting several helper endpoints across the Human Resources, Catalog, and Order Manager applications that are configured to skip authentication and perform no permission check before returning the requested record. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.
