Administrator session compromise via unencoded commerce fields
Published Oct 17, 2023 · Updated Jun 12, 2025
Stored XSS in Liferay Portal 7.3.5 through 7.4.3.91 and Liferay DXP allows remote attackers to run script in an administrator's browser. Commerce order and region views render stored, attacker-controlled shipping, billing, and region values without output encoding. A storefront customer can plant an order payload that executes when an administrator views it; DXP 7.3 update 33 and earlier and 7.4 before update 92 are affected.
