What is CVE-2018-17200?
CVE-2018-17200 is a critical unsafe deserialization vulnerability in Apache Ofbiz, published on 11 Sep 2019. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Apache OFBiz HTTP engine (org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.HttpEngine.java) handles requests for HTTP services via the /webtools/control/httpService endpoint. This service takes the `serviceContent` parameter in the request and deserializes it using XStream. This `XStream` instance is slightly guarded by disabling the creation of `ProcessBuilder`. However, this can be easily bypassed (and in multiple ways). Mitigation: Upgrade to 16.11.06 or manually apply the following commits on branch 16 r1850017+1850019
