XML-RPC is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol which uses XML to encode its calls and HTTP as a transport mechanism. These methods can be modified to implement custom behavior during the serialization and deserialization of Java Objects. This interface enforces the writeObject()/ writeExternal() and readObject()/ readExternal() methods, which are called when serializing and deserializing objects respectively. An HTTP request consists of a request line, various headers, an empty line, and an optional message body:Īll Java Objects that are serializable implement the Serializable or Externalizable interface. A request is sent by a client machine to a server, which in turn sends a response back to the client. Hypertext Transfer Protocol is a request/response protocol described in RFC 7230-7237 and others.
Beyond the framework itself, Apache OFBiz offers functionality including accounting (agreements, invoicing, vendor management, general ledger), asset maintenance, catalog and product management, a facility and warehouse management system (WMS), manufacturing execution/manufacturing operations management (MES/MOM), order processing, inventory management, automated stock replenishment, etc., content management system (CMS), human resources (HR), people and group management, project management sales force automation, work effort management, electronic point of sale (ePOS), electronic commerce (eCommerce) and scrum (development).Īpache OFBiz uses a set of open source technologies and standards such as Java, Java EE, XML, and SOAP. All applications are built atop this framework using common data, logic, and process components. It includes a framework providing a common data model and a set of business processes. It provides a suite of enterprise applications that integrate and automate many of the business processes of an enterprise.

Successful exploitation would result in arbitrary code execution.Īpache OFBiz is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request. This vulnerability is due to Java serialization issues when processing requests sent to /webtools/control/xmlrpc.
An insecure deserialization vulnerability has been reported in Apache OFBiz.
