CVE-2017-15714: Apache OFBiz

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 3.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The BIRT plugin in Apache OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.03 does not escape user input property passed. This allows for code injection by passing that code through the URL. For example by appending this code "__format=%27;alert(%27xss%27)" to the URL an alert window would execute.

Affected products
