Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 24.09.02 or later, which contains the official fix. If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable the scrum plugin to eliminate the attack surface. Additionally, implement network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the scrum plugin endpoints. Monitor logs for unusual activity related to the scrum plugin and conduct regular vulnerability scans to identify any exposure. Employ strict access controls and segmentation to limit the impact of a potential compromise. Educate users about the risk of interacting with untrusted content that could trigger the vulnerability. Finally, maintain an incident response plan ready to address any exploitation attempts promptly.

Description

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability leading to a possible RCE in Apache OFBiz scrum plugin. This issue affects Apache OFBiz: before 24.09.02 only when the scrum plugin is used. Even unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.02, which fixes the issue.

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code via the scrum plugin in Apache OFBiz, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems. Organizations running vulnerable versions with the scrum plugin enabled risk unauthorized access, data leakage, data manipulation, and service disruption. Given Apache OFBiz's use in enterprise resource planning and business process management, exploitation could lead to significant operational disruptions, financial losses, and reputational damage. The requirement for user interaction somewhat limits automated exploitation, but targeted attacks remain feasible. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate risk, but the unauthenticated remote code execution vector elevates the threat level for organizations relying on this software in critical environments.

The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
Architecture and Design · Refactoring
Refactor your program so that you do not have to dynamically generate code.
Architecture and Design
Run your code in a "jail" or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which code can be executed by your product.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
