Apache OFBiz: REST API authentication bypassed by default when the auth attribute is omitted from a .rest.xml operation

Description

Incorrect default value in the REST API framework's .rest.xml definition parser (ModelApiReader) in Apache OFBiz through 24.09.07 on all platforms allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to invoke a REST API operation without providing valid credentials via a .rest.xml resource or operation definition that omits the auth attribute, which ModelApiReader incorrectly resolves to false instead of the true default declared by rest-api.xsd. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 24.09.08, which fixes this issue.
