Authenticated admin-user disclosure via incorrect role check
Published Aug 23, 2025 · Updated Aug 23, 2025
Information disclosure in affected Liferay Portal and DXP releases allows remote authenticated users to read administrator user IDs. The JSONWS-exposed UserServiceImpl.getRoleUserIds method checks VIEW permission on a role instead of ASSIGN_MEMBERS before returning every user ID assigned to it. Any authenticated account with JSONWS access and the target role ID is sufficient; the flaw exposes membership data but does not alter accounts or roles.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
