AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately audit their Liferay Portal deployments to identify affected versions. Until official patches are released, administrators should review and tighten permission settings on the Menu Display Widget and other content display components to ensure only authorized users can access sensitive content. Implementing strict role-based access controls (RBAC) and conducting thorough permission reviews can reduce exposure. Monitoring portal logs for unusual access patterns or unauthorized content views is recommended. If feasible, temporarily disabling or restricting the use of the Menu Display Widget for sensitive content can mitigate risk. Organizations should subscribe to Liferay security advisories to apply patches promptly once available. Additionally, educating users about the risk and enforcing strong authentication and session management can help limit exploitation opportunities.
Description
Liferay Portal 7.3.0 through 7.4.3.119, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.5, 7.4 GA through update 92 and 7.3 GA though update 36 shows content to users who do not have permission to view it via the Menu Display Widget. This security flaw could result in sensitive information being exposed to unauthorized users.
