Expression Language Injection in Apache OFBiz EmailServices

Publication date: 2026-11-05

Last updated on: 2026-11-05

Assigner: Apache Software Foundation

Description
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in an Expression Language Statement ('Expression Language Injection') in EmailServices in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on all platforms allows a remote authenticated attacker holding only OFBTOOLS_VIEW and ACCOUNTING_VIEW, the two view-level permissions that open the Accounting application, to execute arbitrary operating system commands as the account running OFBiz, by submitting a ${groovy:...} expression as the bodyText or subject value to the shipped Send Per Email invoice form, because sendMailFromScreen passes those caller-supplied values through FlexibleStringExpander.expandString, which compiles and evaluates embedded Groovy on a class loader that carries none of the SecureASTCustomizer restrictions GroovyUtil.eval applies elsewhere, behind a service and request-map that declare no permission check beyond base authentication. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.

Executive Summary

This is an Expression Language Injection vulnerability in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08. A remote authenticated attacker with limited view permissions can execute arbitrary OS commands by submitting a Groovy expression in the Send Per Email invoice form. The system improperly neutralizes special elements, allowing the attacker to bypass restrictions and run malicious code as the OFBiz account.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires checking if your Apache OFBiz version is 24.09 before 24.09.08. Use commands like 'curl -s http://<target>/system/version' or check the version in the OFBiz admin panel. Look for the presence of the Send Per Email invoice form in the Accounting application.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could gain full control over the system running OFBiz, steal sensitive data, install malware, or disrupt operations. Even users with minimal permissions could exploit this to escalate privileges and execute commands on the underlying server.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or exfiltration, violating GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health data privacy) requirements. Non-compliance may result in legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage due to compromised sensitive information.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.08 or later. Remove or restrict access to the Send Per Email invoice form in the Accounting application until the upgrade is complete. Review and tighten permissions for OFBTOOLS_VIEW and ACCOUNTING_VIEW roles.
