The CVE-2025-XXXX vulnerability is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw within the Liferay Portal Commerce module. The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation in the account “name” field. Specifically, the application fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input before it is stored and subsequently displayed on the view order page. When a malicious actor creates or edits an account and enters a crafted JavaScript payload into the “name” field, this payload is persisted in the database. The attack completes when an authenticated user, such as an administrator, accesses the order details page that renders the malicious account name. At this point, the embedded script executes within the victim’s browser session, allowing the attacker to perform actions with the victim’s privileges, such as session hijacking or account takeover, without the need for a direct phishing attempt.
