CVE-2024-25605Network attack vector

Unauthenticated template disclosure via default guest permissions

Published Feb 20, 2024 · Updated Apr 24, 2025

Incorrect default permissions in Liferay Portal and DXP allow remote attackers to view any web content template through the UI or API. The Journal module assigns the Guest role view permission for web content templates by default instead of restricting template reads to authorized roles. The flaw affects Portal 7.2.0 through 7.4.3.4 and DXP 7.4.13, 7.3 before service pack 3, and 7.2 before fix pack 17; no account or user interaction is required.
