Apache OfBiz is vulnerable to Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE)
Apache Ofbiz
17.12.01
renderSortField
A Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) was reported back in 2016 which was assigned CVE-2016-4462. The commited fix was two fold:
linkUrl = URLEncoder.encode(linkUrl, "UTF-8");
sr.append("\" linkUrl=r\"");
However, the second part of the fix was not effective, since the attacker can close the raw string
context with a double quote and write a new attribute or even close the macro tag and write arbitrary FreeMarker code.
Unfortunately, the first part of the fix was removed at a later stage enabling the SSTI again and leaving OfBiz vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE).
The following link will execute the id
command and print it along each sortable filed in the page:
https://localhost/ordermgr/control/FindRequest?foo=bar%22ajaxEnabled=false/%3E%24%7b%22freemarker%2etemplate%2eutility%2eExecute%22%3fnew%28%29%28%22id%22%29%7d%3CFOO
Note that sortable fields are used in multiple modules of the backend application and they require different permissions.
