How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-26865 exploits improper neutralization of special elements in Apache OFBiz’s template engine, allowing server-side template injection (SSTI). Attackers can inject malicious templates, leading to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability affects versions between 18.12.17 and 18.12.18 due to a regression in input sanitization. Successful exploitation enables remote attackers to compromise the system by crafting malicious payloads in template parameters.
