This CVE exploits a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in FreeMarker templates within Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP. Attackers can craft malicious URLs to bypass access validations, allowing unauthorized requests to internal systems. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient input sanitization in template processing, enabling attackers to manipulate server-side requests. Affected versions include Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.132 and multiple Liferay DXP releases. Exploitation requires template editor privileges, limiting attack scope but posing risks to internal network exposure.
