CVE-2025-62246Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unsanitized mention names

Published Oct 13, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025

Stored XSS in affected Liferay Portal and DXP releases allows remote authenticated users to inject script through profile name fields. First, middle, and last name values are stored without sufficient neutralization and later rendered by mention handling in comments across pages, blogs, documents, message boards, wikis, and other widgets. An authenticated account can plant the payload, but a separate user must view mention-enabled content before the browser executes it in the site's origin.
