AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately review their Liferay Portal and DXP deployments to identify if they are running affected versions. Until official patches are released, administrators should restrict virtual instance admin privileges to trusted personnel only and monitor admin activities closely. Implement strict access controls and audit logging to detect any unusual tenant enumeration or page creation activities. Consider segmenting tenants physically or logically to reduce the risk of cross-tenant information leakage. Disable or limit the ability to add pages outside the default virtual instance if possible through configuration or custom policies. Engage with Liferay support or vendor channels to obtain patches or workarounds as soon as they become available. Additionally, conduct a thorough review of tenant metadata exposure and ensure that tenant identifiers or sensitive information are not unnecessarily exposed in UI elements or APIs. Finally, incorporate this vulnerability into incident response plans and perform penetration testing focused on multi-tenant isolation to proactively identify similar issues.
