An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-25476 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected all versions up to 7.1.3; no fix listed\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected all versions up to 7.1.3; no fix listed\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected from 7.2 up to 7.2.1; no fix listed\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected from 7.2 up to 7.2.1; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-25476/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-25476/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-25476","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-25476/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-25476","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pvpg-9553-f979"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay CMS Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via profile fields that execute in other users' calendars, potentially leading to privilege escalation if an admin views the calendar.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Liferay CMS Portal version 7.1.3 and 7.2.1 have a blind persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the user name parameter to Calendar.
