Description

The Script Console in Liferay Portal 7.0.0 through 7.4.3.101, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 35, 7.2 GA through fix pack 20, 7.1 GA through fix pack 28, 7.0 GA through fix pack 102 and 6.2 GA through fix pack 173 does not sufficiently protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Groovy script via a crafted URL or a XSS vulnerability. This issue has been patched in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.102, Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.1, Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0, Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.5, and Liferay DXP 7.3 Update 36.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

The web application does not, or can not, sufficiently verify whether a well-formed, valid, consistent request was intentionally provided by the user who submitted the request. Learn more on MITRE.
