Data sent with contentId to /control/stream is not sanitized, allowing XSS attacks in Apache OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.07.

an unauthenticated user could get access to information of some backend screens by invoking setSessionLocale in Apache OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.06

The /webtools/control/xmlrpc endpoint in OFBiz XML-RPC event handler is exposed to External Entity Injection by passing DOCTYPE declarations with executable payloads that discloses the contents of files in the filesystem. In addition, it can also be used to probe for open network ports, and figure out from returned error messages whether a file exists or not. This affects OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.04.

An RCE is possible by entering Freemarker markup in an Apache OFBiz Form Widget textarea field when encoding has been disabled on such a field. This was the case for the Customer Request "story" input in the Order Manager application. Encoding should not be disabled without good reason and never within a field that accepts user input. Mitigation: Upgrade to 16.11.06 or manually apply the following commit on branch 16.11: r1858533

The "Blog", "Forum", "Contact Us" screens of the template "ecommerce" application bundled in Apache OFBiz are weak to Stored XSS attacks. Mitigation: Upgrade to 16.11.06 or manually apply the following commits on branch 16.11: 1858438, 1858543, 1860595 and 1860616

The java.io.ObjectInputStream is known to cause Java serialisation issues. This issue here is exposed by the "webtools/control/httpService" URL, and uses Java deserialization to perform code execution. In the HttpEngine, the value of the request parameter "serviceContext" is passed to the "deserialize" method of "XmlSerializer". Apache Ofbiz is affected via two different dependencies: "commons-beanutils" and an out-dated version of "commons-fileupload" Mitigation: Upgrade to 16.11.06 or manually apply the commits from OFBIZ-10770 and OFBIZ-10837 on branch 16

The Apache OFBiz HTTP engine (org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.HttpEngine.java) handles requests for HTTP services via the /webtools/control/httpService endpoint. This service takes the `serviceContent` parameter in the request and deserializes it using XStream. This `XStream` instance is slightly guarded by disabling the creation of `ProcessBuilder`. However, this can be easily bypassed (and in multiple ways). Mitigation: Upgrade to 16.11.06 or manually apply the following commits on branch 16 r1850017+1850019

In Apache OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.04, the OFBiz HTTP engine (org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.HttpEngine.java) handles requests for HTTP services via the /webtools/control/httpService endpoint. Both POST and GET requests to the httpService endpoint may contain three parameters: serviceName, serviceMode, and serviceContext. The exploitation occurs by having DOCTYPEs pointing to external references that trigger a payload that returns secret information from the host.

The BIRT plugin in Apache OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.03 does not escape user input property passed. This allows for code injection by passing that code through the URL. For example by appending this code "__format=%27;alert(%27xss%27)" to the URL an alert window would execute.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the forum implementation in the ecommerce component in the Apache Open For Business Project (OFBiz) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by posting a message.

The forum implementation in the ecommerce component in the Apache Open For Business Project (OFBiz) trusts the (1) dataResourceTypeId, (2) contentTypeId, and certain other hidden form fields, which allows remote attackers to create unauthorized types of content, modify content, or have other unknown impact.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ecommerce/control/keywordsearch in the Apache Open For Business Project (OFBiz) and Opentaps 0.9.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the SEARCH_STRING parameter, a different issue than CVE-2006-6587.
