The CVE-2025-22094 vulnerability is an IDOR flaw within Liferay’s Publications module. It stems from improper authorization checks on the `_com_liferay_change_tracking_web_portlet_PublicationsPortlet_value` parameter. Authenticated attackers can exploit this by crafting specific HTTP requests that directly reference object identifiers, such as a publication comment ID. The application fails to verify if the requesting user has the necessary permissions to access the targeted object. Consequently, a user can manipulate this parameter in the URL to retrieve and view publication comments they are not authorized to see. A separate but related issue allows for the editing of comments through similarly crafted URLs, again due to a lack of permission validation on the server-side for the requested action on the specified object ID.
