Compensating controls
- Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs Liferay Portal and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.

What, why and how
Liferay Portal 7.3.0 through 7.4.3.119, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.5, 7.4 GA through update 92 and 7.3 GA though update 36 shows content to users who do not have permission to view it via the Menu Display Widget. This security flaw could result in sensitive information being exposed to unauthorized users.
What
Liferay Portal 7.3.0 through 7.4.3.119, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.5, 7.4 GA through update 92 and 7.3 GA though update 36 shows content to users who do not have permission to view it via the Menu Display Widget. This security flaw could result in sensitive information being exposed to unauthorized users.
Why
The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.
How
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. If successful, the issue may obtain information outside the intended access boundary.

Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
- Likely attack path
- a network path → Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource → obtain information outside the intended access boundary
- Attack surface
- Network
- Privileges required
- High: elevated access is required
- User interaction
- Passive interaction required
- Attack complexity
- Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
- Security boundary
- Not a CVSS 4.0 base metric
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-732 ↗
CWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource. The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.
- CVSS vector

CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity. CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:NCommon Vulnerability Scoring System 4.0: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

- No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.

Patch and workaround
Operational remediation based on structured source evidence.
- Status
?
Patch availability is based on structured fixed-version fields and authoritative update references. If no fix is verified, check the vendor advisory before making a change. - Fix not verified
- Affected
- Portal: 7.3.0 ≤ 7.4.3.119
- DXP: 7.3.10 ≤ 7.3.10-u36, 7.4.13 ≤ 7.4.13-u92, 2023.Q3.1 ≤ 2023.Q3.8, 2023.Q4.0 ≤ 2023.Q4.5
- Fixed
- No fixed version is explicitly recorded in the structured CVE data.
- Action
- No verified patch reference is present in the current structured sources. Check the vendor advisory before making a change.
- Workaround
- No verified workaround is recorded. If business-safe, reduce exposure to the affected interface and allow only trusted sources until authoritative guidance is available.
