CVE-2025-4576· NVD / CVE Program· CNA Liferay

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.133, and Liferay DXP 2025.Q1.0 through 2025.Q

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB / GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.58% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: com.liferay:com.liferay.blogs.web (Maven) 6.0.139.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to com.liferay:com.liferay.blogs.web (Maven) 6.0.139 or later.
