Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-43797 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.site.admin.web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 5.0.111\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.site.admin.web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 5.0.111\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-2025-43797/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43797/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43797","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43797/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43797","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-25m3-w28p-v3v3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Default open site membership allows registered users to view, add, or edit site content without proper authorization checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Liferay","cpe":[{"product":"digital_experience_platform","vendor":"liferay"},{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1188","name":"Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default"}],"description":"In Liferay Portal 7.1.0 through 7.4.3.111, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 35, and older unsupported versions, the default membership type of a newly created site is “Open” which allows any registered users to become a member of the site.
