CVE-2024-45195 is a direct request, or forced browsing, vulnerability in Apache OFBiz affecting versions prior to 18.12.16. The flaw stems from confused controller-view authorization logic and insufficient authorization checks on protected resources, particularly missing validation of whether a requested view is permitted for anonymous access. By sending crafted direct requests to secured application resources, an unauthenticated attacker can bypass intended access restrictions. Public reporting indicates the authorization weakness can be leveraged to reach functionality that ultimately enables arbitrary code execution on the server, making the issue effectively an unauthenticated remote code execution path in vulnerable deployments. The issue has also been described as a bypass of earlier incomplete fixes for related OFBiz authorization flaws.

This repository contains two files: 'rcereport.csv' and 'rceschema.xml'. The main exploit is a JSP webshell embedded in 'rcereport.csv', which, when deployed to a Java web server, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via the 'cmd' HTTP GET parameter. The output of the command is returned in the HTTP response. The 'rceschema.xml' file provides an XML schema for the data file, possibly to facilitate import into a system that expects this format. The exploit is operational and requires the attacker to upload the JSP file to a vulnerable server. No specific CVE or product is referenced, but the attack targets generic Java web servers capable of running JSP files.
