This issue was initially reported to the security team by Alvaro Munoz 
<[email protected]> from the GitHub Security Lab team 
<[email protected]>. It was also reported 15 days later by Kai Zhao 
<[email protected]>.

It's a well known *post-auth *vulnerability[1][2][3] so *no CVE* was created. 
It relies on Freemarker freemarker.template.utility.Execute class and new() 
built-in.

Since Freemarker 2.3.17 a known solution to these issues is to register a 
TemplateClassResolver in Freemarker configuration in order to limit which 
TemplateModels can be instantiated in the templates. The predefined resolver 
SAFER_RESOLVER doesn�t allow to instantiate the Execute class[4]. So the 
solution is to add the line

newConfig.setNewBuiltinClassResolver(TemplateClassResolver.SAFER_RESOLVER);

in FreeMarkerWorker.java

In [1] a concern about the Freemarker api buit-in is mentioned. Actually this 
is not a concern by default in Freemarker[5] and OFBiz

bq. The api_builtin_enabled configuration setting must be set to true. Its 
default is false (at least as of 2.3.22) for not lowering the security of 
existing applications.
