CVE-2026-81815: SQL Injection in the entity engine's generic performFind service in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on MySQL/MariaDB-backed deployments allows a remote unaut

SQL Injection in the entity engine's generic performFind service in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on MySQL/MariaDB-backed deployments allows a remote unaut

SQL Injection in the entity engine's generic performFind service in Apache OFBiz 24.09 before 24.09.08 on MySQL/MariaDB-backed deployments allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to disclose arbitrary rows from the queried entity by submitting an ignore-case find request (e.g. _ic=Y) with a crafted value, causing SqlJdbcUtil.addValueSingle to inline the EntityFunction-wrapped value directly into the SQL text using ANSI-only single-quote doubling instead of binding it as a parameter, which is insufficient on MySQL/MariaDB because those dialects also honor backslash escapes, letting a backslash-terminated payload break out of the string literal and turn the WHERE clause into a tautology. The default Derby datasource and PostgreSQL are not affected because they do not interpret backslash as an escape character in this context. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.

What it means for a small business

Apache OFBiz runs on web servers, so this is mostly your hosting company's to fix. On shared hosting you can't patch it yourself, but you can ask.

Ask your host whether your server runs it, whether it's updated, and on what date. A good host answers that in a day.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.28%, higher than 20% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored November 6, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
