An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-43778 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.workflow.kaleo.forms.web (Maven): affected from 5.0.3; fixed in 5.0.107\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.workflow.kaleo.forms.web (Maven): affected from 5.0.3; fixed in 5.0.107\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-2025-43778/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43778/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43778","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43778/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43778","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cpg4-qcj8-42gp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can inject JavaScript via fieldset names in Kaleo Forms Admin, leading to stored XSS and potential account takeover.","user_interaction":"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":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/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 7.4.3.132, and Liferay DXP 2025.Q2.0 through 2025.Q2.11, 2025.Q1.0 through 2025.Q1.16, 2024.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.7, 2024.Q3.0 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13 and 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.20 allows an remote authenticated attacker to inject JavaScript through the name of a fieldset in Kaleo Forms Admin.
