CVE-2025-4655: SSRF vulnerability in FreeMarker templates in Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.132, and Liferay DXP 2025.Q1.0 through 2025.Q1.5, 2024.Q4.0

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 20/100)

  • 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: 0.22% (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:release.dxp.bom (Maven) 2024.Q1.16, 2025.Q1.6.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven) 2024.Q1.16, 2025.Q1.6 or later.
