CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2022-29063 — The Solr plugin of Apache OFBiz is configured by default to automatically make a RMI request on localhost, port 1099
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.

Unsafe deserialization and object reconstruction
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Inventory serialization formats accepted from requests, queues, caches, files, cookies, and cross-service messages.
- Trace whether untrusted input can select classes, types, callbacks, constructors, or object hooks during decoding.
- Identify signing, schema validation, trust-boundary, and compatibility settings for each decoder.
Remediate safely
- Replace native object deserialization with a data-only format and explicit schema validation.
- If replacement is not immediate, use a safe decoder with a minimal type allowlist and disable polymorphic or executable hooks.
- Update the affected library and add inert tests for unknown types, extra fields, malformed nesting, and unsigned data.
