Liferay Portal 7.4.3.4 < 7.4.3.61 Authentication Bypass

medium Nessus Plugin ID 176463

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of Liferay Portal installed on the remote host is 7.4.3.4 <= 7.4.3.60. It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability due to the Object module not segmenting object definition by virtual instance in search. In turn, this allows remote authenticated users in one virtual instance to view object definition from a second virtual instance by searching for the object definition.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Liferay Portal 7.4.3.61 or later.
