Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.49% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: com.liferay.portal:com.liferay.util.java (Maven) 14.0.0; com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven) 7.3.10.u12, 7.4.13.u4, 7.2.10.fp20; com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven) 7.4.3.8.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to com.liferay.portal:com.liferay.util.java (Maven) 14.0.0; com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven) 7.3.10.u12, 7.4.13.u4, 7.2.10.fp20; com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven) 7.4.3.8 or later.
