Liferay Portal 7.4.0.x <= 7.4.3.132 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 245205

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Liferay Portal installed on the remote host is 7.4.x <= 7.4.3.132. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
 - A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Liferay Portal allows an remote non-authenticated attacker to inject JavaScript into the modules/apps/blogs/blogs-web/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/blogs/entry_cover_image_caption.jsp (CVE-2025-4576)

 - The vulnerable code can bypass the Captcha check in Liferay Portal and then attackers can run scripts in the Gogo shell.
 (CVE-2025-4604)

 - Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.132, and Liferay DXP 2025.Q1.0 through 2025.Q1.6, 2024.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.7, 2024.Q3.1 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.16 and 7.4 GA through update 92 allow any authenticated user to modify the content of emails sent through the calendar portlet, allowing an attacker to send phishing emails to any other user in the same organization. (CVE-2025-43739)

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

Solution

Upgrade Liferay Portal based upon the guidance specified in the advisory.
