How the Mentioned CVE Works
The vulnerability CVE-2025-47130 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw within Liferay Portal’s related asset selector component. It originates from improper neutralization of user-controlled input. Remote attackers who have authenticated access to the portal can exploit this by injecting malicious JavaScript or HTML payloads into specific user profile fields, namely the First Name, Middle Name, or Last Name. These crafted payloads are not sanitized upon entry and are stored by the application. When the vulnerable related asset selector page is later rendered by the application, the malicious script is executed in the victim’s browser context. This execution occurs whenever a legitimate user, such as an administrator, views a page that dynamically includes the attacker’s manipulated asset information. The script runs with the privileges of the victim’s session, allowing the attacker to perform actions on their behalf.
Platform: Liferay Portal/DXP
Version: 7.4.3.50-7.4.3.111
Vulnerability: Stored XSS
Severity: Moderate

``
How Exploit:
Attacker logs in and updates their profile first/middle/last name fields with a malicious script payload. The payload is saved. When an administrator views a content page using the related asset selector that references the attacker’s profile, the stored script is executed in the admin’s session.
