Authenticated workflow submission access and deletion
Published Aug 3, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Authorization flaw in Liferay Portal 7.3.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to view and delete workflow submissions via crafted URLs. The Portal Workflow module fails to enforce permission checks on URL requests, allowing an authenticated account to access submissions outside its authorization scope and delete them. Exploitation requires a valid remote account; the documented consequence is unauthorized disclosure and removal of workflow submissions.
