CVE-2025-43784Network attack vector

Guest data disclosure via administrator permission context

Published Sep 10, 2025 · Updated Sep 10, 2025

Incorrect authorization in Liferay Portal and DXP affected releases allows guest users to obtain object-entry information through API Builder. ObjectEntryHelper replaces the request permission checker with one created for the object definition's administrator before fetching entries. Unauthenticated guest access is sufficient, exposing object-entry data that the guest lacks permission to view; no write or service interruption is reported.
