AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting outbound HTTP requests from the Liferay Portal server to only trusted internal and external destinations using network-level controls such as firewall rules or proxy whitelisting. 2. Apply strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied URLs in the portal-settings-authentication-opensso-web component, if custom patches or workarounds are possible before official patches are released. 3. Monitor network traffic originating from the Liferay Portal server for unusual or unexpected outbound HTTP requests that could indicate exploitation attempts. 4. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SSRF attack patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoints. 5. Keep Liferay Portal installations up to date and apply official patches as soon as they become available from the vendor. 6. Conduct internal network segmentation to limit the impact of SSRF by isolating critical internal services from the portal server. 7. Perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on SSRF and related vulnerabilities in the portal environment.

Description

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.Q4.7, 2024.Q3.1 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.15, 7.4 GA through update 92 allows a pre-authentication blind SSRF vulnerability in the portal-settings-authentication-opensso-web due to improper validation of user-supplied URLs. An attacker can exploit this issue to force the server to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal systems, potentially leading to internal network enumeration or further exploitation.
