AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately audit their Liferay Portal deployments to identify affected versions and restrict access to the Publications portlet to trusted users only. Implement strict role-based access controls (RBAC) to limit who can view or edit publication comments. Monitor logs for unusual authenticated user activity related to publication comments, especially access patterns involving the _com_liferay_change_tracking_web_portlet_PublicationsPortlet_value parameter. Prepare to deploy vendor patches as soon as they become available; in the meantime, consider disabling or isolating the Publications component if feasible. Conduct user awareness training to ensure users understand the importance of safeguarding their credentials, as exploitation requires authentication. Additionally, review and harden authentication mechanisms to prevent credential compromise. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable parameter. Regularly update and patch Liferay Portal and related components to minimize exposure to similar vulnerabilities.

Description

Insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Publications in Liferay Portal 7.4.1 through 7.4.3.112, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.5, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, and 7.4 GA through update 92 allows remote authenticated attackers to view publication comments via the _com_liferay_change_tracking_web_portlet_PublicationsPortlet_value parameter. Publications comments in Liferay Portal 7.4.1 through 7.4.3.112, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.5, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, and 7.4 GA through update 92 does not properly check user permissions, which allows remote authenticated users to edit publication comments via crafted URLs.
