AI-suggested
- Apply official patches or updates from Liferay as soon as they become available to address CVE-2025-43825.
- Conduct a thorough audit of all Freemarker templates used within the portal environment to identify any that may expose sensitive information.
- Restrict access to sensitive data within templates by implementing strict data access controls and minimizing the data passed to templates.
- Limit user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce the risk of exploitation by users with elevated rights.
- Implement monitoring and logging to detect unusual access patterns or attempts to render sensitive data.
- Educate users and administrators about the risks of social engineering that could facilitate exploitation requiring user interaction.
- Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious template rendering requests.
- Review and enhance overall data governance policies to ensure sensitive data is classified and handled appropriately within portal applications.
- If immediate patching is not possible, isolate or restrict access to affected Liferay instances to trusted networks and users only.
Description
A vulnerability in Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.132, and Liferay DXP 2025.Q1.0 through 2025.Q1.4, 2024.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.5, 2024.Q3.0 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.1 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.12, 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.10, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.10, and 7.4 GA through update 92 allows sensitive user data to be included in the Freemarker template. This weakness permits an unauthorized actor to gain access to, and potentially render, confidential information that should remain restricted.
