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: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 12 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 2026-10-25.

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 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.

What to do

Upgrade org.apache.ofbiz/ofbiz to 24.09.03.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate upgrade of Apache OFBiz installations to version 24.09.03 or later to apply the official patch addressing the vulnerability. 2. Implement strict server-side validation of uploaded files, including checking MIME types, file extensions, and content inspection to block dangerous file types. 3. Restrict file upload permissions to authenticated and authorized users only, even if the vulnerability allows unauthenticated uploads, to add an additional security layer. 4. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious file upload attempts targeting OFBiz endpoints. 5. Monitor logs and file upload directories for unusual or unexpected files, enabling rapid detection and response to exploitation attempts. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on file upload functionalities. 7. Educate development and operations teams on secure file handling practices and ensure secure configuration management. 8. Isolate the OFBiz application environment to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.

Description

Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Apache OFBiz. This issue affects Apache OFBiz: before 24.09.03. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.03, which fixes the issue.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-59118 can be significant, especially for those relying on Apache OFBiz for critical business functions such as supply chain management, customer relationship management, and e-commerce platforms. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive business data, insertion of malicious code, and potential disruption of services, affecting business continuity and customer trust. The confidentiality breach could expose personal data subject to GDPR regulations, leading to legal and financial penalties. Integrity compromises might allow attackers to alter transactional data or business logic, causing financial losses or operational errors. Availability impacts could result in downtime, affecting revenue and reputation. Given the ease of exploitation and lack of required authentication, attackers could rapidly target vulnerable systems across Europe. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not diminish the urgency for remediation due to the high severity and potential for future exploitation.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #12OWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
Architecture and Design
Generate a new, unique filename for an uploaded file instead of using the user-supplied filename, so that no external input is used at all.
Architecture and Design · Enforcement by Conversion
When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
Architecture and Design
Consider storing the uploaded files outside of the web document root entirely. Then, use other mechanisms to deliver the files dynamically.
