CVE-2022-29063
CWE-502Published: September 2, 2022· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The Solr plugin of Apache OFBiz is configured by default to automatically make a RMI request on localhost, port 1099. In version 18.12.05 and earlier, by hosting a malicious RMI server on localhost, an attacker may exploit this behavior, at server start-up or on a server restart, in order to run arbitrary code. Upgrade to at least 18.12.06 or apply patches at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12646.
Risk Analysis
Apache OFBiz is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to insecure RMI request handling during server startup or restart. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this flaw is critical as it allows unauthenticated remote attackers to compromise the system.
There is no known public exploit for this vulnerability, and it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Upgrade Apache OFBiz to version 18.12.06 or apply the patches provided by the vendor.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-29063 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-502): Insecure deserialization vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious objects during deserialization, potentially enabling remote code execution.
