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-2022-38512 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven): affected from 7.4.13.u8; fixed in 7.4.13.u37\n- com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven): affected from 7.4.13.u8; fixed in 7.4.13.u37\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.translation.web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.0.58\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.translation.web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.0.58\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-2022-38512/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38512/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38512","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38512/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38512","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can download web content translation files without proper permission checks, exposing sensitive content data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dxp","vendor":"liferay"},{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Translation module in Liferay Portal v7.4.3.12 through v7.4.3.36, and Liferay DXP 7.4 update 8 through 36 does not check permissions before allowing a user to export a web content for translation, allowing attackers to download a web content page's XLIFF translation file via crafted URL.","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 and Liferay DXP Fails to Check Permissions in Translation Module","id":"CVE-2022-38512","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"liferay:liferay_portal","products":["liferay:liferay_portal"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-38527"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.4.13.u37"],"introduced":["7.4.13.u8"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.4.13.u37"],"introduced":["7.4.13.u8"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom","purl":"pkg:maven/com.liferay.portal/release.dxp.bom","source":"GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.0.58"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay:com.liferay.translation.web","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.0.58"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay:com.liferay.translation.web","purl":"pkg:maven/com.liferay/com.liferay.translation.web","source":"GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg"}],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-38511"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-09-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to SQL Injection via the Fragment Module","id":"CVE-2022-42120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to SQL Injection via Friendly URL Module","id":"CVE-2022-42122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to CSRF via the Layout Module","id":"CVE-2023-35030","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to Multiple SQL Injections","id":"CVE-2021-29053","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP insecure default configuration","id":"CVE-2021-33321","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Fails to Invalidate CAPTCHA Answers After Use","id":"CVE-2021-29047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-16"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-09","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can download web content translation files without proper permission checks, exposing sensitive content data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38512/"}
