CVE-2024-25603Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unneutralized instanceId

Published Feb 21, 2024 · Updated Aug 20, 2024

Stored XSS in the DDMForm component of Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP allows remote authenticated users to inject script through instanceId. The Dynamic Data Mapping form accepts the instanceId parameter without neutralizing it before the stored value is rendered as web content. An authenticated account can plant script or HTML that executes when another user views the affected form, enabling actions in that user's browser context.
