AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately audit their Liferay Portal and DXP deployments to identify affected versions. In the interim, restrict access to JSONWS APIs to trusted users only and implement strict network segmentation to limit exposure. Employ robust authentication and session management controls to reduce the risk of compromised low-privilege accounts. Review and tighten API permissions and consider disabling JSONWS APIs if not required. Conduct thorough logging and monitoring of API access to detect anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Additionally, perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on API endpoints to identify and remediate similar access control weaknesses. Finally, educate users about the risks of privilege misuse and enforce the principle of least privilege across the portal environment.

Description

Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.131, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.7, 2024.Q3.1 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.15 and 7.4 GA through update 92 allows authenticated users without any permissions to access sensitive information of admin users using JSONWS APIs.
