An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-28981 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.headless.discovery.web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.0.12\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.headless.discovery.web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.0.12\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-2022-28981/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-28981/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-28981","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-28981/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-28981","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5j86-vmpx-42pc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can access arbitrary files outside the intended directory via a path traversal flaw in the Hypermedia REST APIs module.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Path traversal vulnerability in the Hypermedia REST APIs module in Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.2 allows remote attackers to access files outside of com.liferay.headless.discovery.web/META-INF/resources via the `parameter` parameter.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Liferay Portal Path Traversal Vulnerability via the Hypermedia REST APIs Module","id":"CVE-2022-28981","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"liferay:liferay_portal","products":["liferay:liferay_portal"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2022"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to XSS via Tag Name","id":"CVE-2022-28982"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.0.12"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay:com.liferay.headless.discovery.web","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5j86-vmpx-42pc"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.0.12"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay:com.liferay.headless.discovery.web","purl":"pkg:maven/com.liferay/com.liferay.headless.discovery.web","source":"GHSA-5j86-vmpx-42pc"}],"prev":{"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to XSS via the filter_ Prefix","id":"CVE-2022-28980"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-09-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2020-7961","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-03-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-33990","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal Allows RCE via Deserialization of a JSON Payload","id":"CVE-2019-16891","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-04"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Liferay Portal XSS with `p_l_back_url_title` on edit content page","id":"CVE-2023-47797","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-13445","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10795","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Shell command injection in Liferay Portal","id":"CVE-2010-5327","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-09","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can access arbitrary files outside the intended directory via a path traversal flaw in the Hypermedia REST APIs module.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-28981/"}
