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-2025-43799 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected from 7.4.0; fixed in 7.4.3.112\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected from 7.4.0; fixed in 7.4.3.112\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-2025-43799/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43799/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43799","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43799/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43799","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-43xf-59vr-g4f2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can access and edit content via APIs before the user changes their initial password due to missing 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":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:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1393","name":"Use of Default Password"}],"description":"Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.111, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92 and 7.3 GA through update 35, and older unsupported versions does not limit access to APIs before a user has changed their initial password, which allows remote users to access and edit content via the API.","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 Uses Default Password","id":"CVE-2025-43799","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"liferay:digital_experience_platform","products":["liferay:digital_experience_platform","liferay:liferay_portal"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Liferay Portal Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-43800"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.4.3.112"],"introduced":["7.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-43xf-59vr-g4f2"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.4.3.112"],"introduced":["7.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom","purl":"pkg:maven/com.liferay.portal/release.portal.bom","source":"GHSA-43xf-59vr-g4f2"}],"prev":{"headline":"Liferay DXP Missing Critical Step in Authentication","id":"CVE-2025-43798"},"products":["DXP","Portal"],"published":"2025-09-15","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-09-15","vendors":["Liferay"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can access and edit content via APIs before the user changes their initial password due to missing authorization checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43799/"}
