How CVE-2025-30676 Works
This vulnerability in Apache OFBiz (before v18.12.19) allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via unneutralized HTML tags in web inputs. The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied data, leading to stored or reflected XSS. When a victim accesses a compromised page, the injected script executes in their browser, enabling session hijacking, phishing, or malware delivery. The attack vector requires no authentication, making it critical.
