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-2025-43765 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.journal.service (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 7.0.161\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.journal.service (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 7.0.161\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-2025-43765/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43765/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43765","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43765/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43765","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h8gx-4hhm-w45v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can inject JavaScript into web content text fields, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Liferay","cpe":[{"product":"digital_experience_platform","vendor":"liferay"},{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A Stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.131, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q4.0, 2024.Q3.1 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.13 and 7.4 GA through update 92 allows an remote non-authenticated attacker to inject JavaScript into the text field from a web content.","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 stored cross-site scripting in text field of the web content structure","id":"CVE-2025-43765","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"liferay:digital_experience_platform","products":["liferay:digital_experience_platform","liferay:liferay_portal"],"type":"xss","year":"2025"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Liferay Portal allows unrestricted upload of file in the style books component","id":"CVE-2025-43766"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.161"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay:com.liferay.journal.service","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-h8gx-4hhm-w45v"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.161"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay:com.liferay.journal.service","purl":"pkg:maven/com.liferay/com.liferay.journal.service","source":"GHSA-h8gx-4hhm-w45v"}],"prev":{"headline":"Liferay Portal ReDoS with Role Name search in KaleoDesignerPortlet","id":"CVE-2025-43764"},"products":["DXP","Portal"],"published":"2025-08-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to CSRF in the Script Console","id":"CVE-2024-8980","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-22"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP vulnerable to reflected Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-42496","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Liferay Portal Language Override edit screen and Liferay DXP vulnerable to reflected Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-42498","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-25147","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Liferay Portal Frontend JS module's portlet.js and Liferay DXP vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-26269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Liferay Portal stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-25145","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-07"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to Reflected XSS via the Export for Translation Page","id":"CVE-2023-42497","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-17"}],"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":"2025-08-25","vendors":["Liferay"]},"summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can inject JavaScript into web content text fields, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43765/"}
