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-2025-43816 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.vulcan.impl (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 5.0.115\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.vulcan.impl (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 5.0.115\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-2025-43816/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43816/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43816","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43816/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43816","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hrqm-qpw9-w8rv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause server unavailability by repeatedly calling the headless API endpoint, leading to a memory leak in Liferay Portal.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"A memory leak in the headless API for StructuredContents in Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.119, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.5, 2023.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.10, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.10, 7.4 GA through update 92, and older unsupported versions allows an attacker to cause server unavailability (denial of service) via repeatedly calling the API endpoint.","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 DXP vulnerable to a memory leak","id":"CVE-2025-43816","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"liferay:digital_experience_platform","products":["liferay:digital_experience_platform","liferay:liferay_portal"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Liferay Portal vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting via the `redirect` parameter","id":"CVE-2025-43817"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.0.115"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.vulcan.impl","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hrqm-qpw9-w8rv"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.0.115"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.vulcan.impl","purl":"pkg:maven/com.liferay/com.liferay.portal.vulcan.impl","source":"GHSA-hrqm-qpw9-w8rv"}],"prev":{"headline":"Liferay Portal vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting on the page configuration page","id":"CVE-2025-43815"},"products":["DXP","Portal"],"published":"2025-09-25","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":"2025-09-26","vendors":["Liferay"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause server unavailability by repeatedly calling the headless API endpoint, leading to a memory leak in Liferay Portal.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43816/"}
