Apache · Apache Ofbiz · CVE-2023-50968
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache OFBiz versions prior to 18.12.11
**Description**
The issue is related to insufficient validation of incoming requests, allowing a remote attacker to perform a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack by sending a specially crafted HTTP request. This can also lead to arbitrary file properties reading vulnerability when a user operates a URI call without proper authorizations. The same URI can be exploited to realize a SSRF attack without authorizations.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 18.12.11, upgrade to version 18.12.11 to fix the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to unauthorized URI calls to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid operating URI calls without proper authorizations until the issue is resolved.
