Liferay Portal, Authentication Bypass, CVE-2025-XXXX (High)

Listen to this Post

The CVE-2025-XXXX vulnerability is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in Liferay Portal’s multi-instance architecture. It occurs due to insufficient access control checks when handling requests for Objects and Object Definitions. A remote authenticated user can manipulate request parameters, such as object IDs or definition names, to specify a target belonging to a different virtual instance. The system fails to validate that the user’s permissions are scoped exclusively to their current instance, allowing them to interact with data in a separate, unauthorized virtual instance. This bypasses the intended security boundary.
Platform: Liferay Portal/DXP
Version: 7.4.0-7.4.3.124
Vulnerability: IDOR Bypass
Severity: High

date: 2025-09-11

Prediction: Patch: 2025-09-18

What Undercode Say:

`curl -X GET ‘http:///o/api/?scope=company_2′ -H ‘Authorization: Basic ‘`
` Request scoped to a different company (virtual instance) ID.`

How Exploit:

Craft API requests with a ‘scope’ parameter targeting a different companyId. Use authenticated sessions to access, modify, or create object entries and definitions in unauthorized virtual instances, bypassing tenant isolation.

Protection from this CVE:

Apply vendor patch. Implement instance-specific authorization checks on all object-related API endpoints to validate the user’s companyId context against the target resource’s companyId.

Impact:

Data Confidentiality Compromised, Data Integrity Compromised, Tenant Isolation Bypass.
