CVE-2025-62237
📋 TL;DR
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Liferay's Commerce view order page allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into account name fields. When users view orders containing these malicious names, the scripts execute in their browsers. This affects Liferay Portal and DXP users with Commerce functionality enabled.
💻 Affected Systems
- Liferay Portal
- Liferay DXP
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could steal session cookies, perform actions as authenticated users, redirect to malicious sites, or install malware on user systems.
Likely Case
Session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement of order pages for users viewing malicious orders.
If Mitigated
With proper input validation and output encoding, scripts would be rendered harmless as text rather than executed.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires ability to create or modify account names, which typically requires some level of access. Stored nature means one injection affects multiple users.
