Apache OFBiz Reflected XSS

Description

Apache OFBiz is a framework that includes accounting, order processing, and other business activities as well as a common data model.

Data received with contentId to /control/stream is not sanitised, making Apache OFBiz 16.11.01 through 16.11.07 vulnerable to Reflected cross-site scripting. Because it allows attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the website, it is a potential threat.

Recommendations

• Update Apache OFBiz to the latest version

Sooraj was probably the kid who opened up a remote control just to see what was inside, then had to figure out how to put it back together before anyone noticed. That curiosity eventually found its way into cybersecurity, where breaking things is actually part of the job description. Today, he explores vulnerabilities, analysis threats, and helps build safer digital spaces. His favourite question remains the same: “What happens if I try this?”
