CVE-2025-43810
📋 TL;DR
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Liferay Portal and DXP allows authenticated users from one virtual instance to add notes to commerce orders in different virtual instances by manipulating the commerceOrderId parameter. This affects Liferay Portal 7.3.5-7.4.3.112 and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0-2023.Q4.8, 2023.Q3.1-2023.Q3.10, and 7.4 GA-update 92.
💻 Affected Systems
- Liferay Portal
- Liferay DXP
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Malicious authenticated users could tamper with order data across virtual instances, potentially causing business disruption, data corruption, or unauthorized order modifications.
Likely Case
Authenticated users could add unauthorized notes to orders in other virtual instances, potentially causing confusion, data integrity issues, or minor business process disruption.
If Mitigated
With proper access controls and instance isolation, impact is limited to unauthorized note additions without affecting core order functionality.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access and knowledge of target order IDs; parameter manipulation is straightforward.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Liferay Portal 7.4.3.113+; Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.9+, 2023.Q3.11+, 7.4 update 93+

Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Download appropriate patch from Liferay Customer Portal. 2. Apply patch following Liferay's patching procedures. 3. Verify fix by testing order note functionality across virtual instances.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Virtual Instance Access Restriction
allImplement additional access controls to restrict authenticated users from accessing order management interfaces across virtual instances.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict access controls and monitoring for commerce order note functionality
- Deploy web application firewall rules to detect and block suspicious parameter manipulation
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test if authenticated user in one virtual instance can add notes to orders in another virtual instance by manipulating commerceOrderId parameter.Check Version:
Check Liferay version via Control Panel → Configuration → Server Administration → System InformationVerify Fix Applied:
After patching, verify that cross-instance order note addition is no longer possible.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual order note additions from users outside expected virtual instance
- Multiple failed attempts to access cross-instance order data
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with manipulated commerceOrderId parameters crossing virtual instance boundaries
