Apache OFBiz: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an LDAP Query

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-41919 is a critical-severity improper neutralization of special elements used in an LDAP query vulnerability in Apache OFBiz from Apache, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 24.09.06 as the first without the flaw, so updating Apache OFBiz to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an LDAP Query ('LDAP Injection') vulnerability in Apache OFBiz. This issue affects Apache OFBiz: before 24.09.06. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.06, which fixes the issue.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an LDAP Query

The product constructs all or part of an LDAP query using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended LDAP query when it is sent to a downstream component.
