CVE-2025-62241

4.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Liferay DXP that allows authenticated users from one virtual instance to view shipment addresses from different virtual instances. The vulnerability affects Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.1 through 2023.Q4.5 and requires authenticated access to exploit.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Liferay DXP
Versions: 2023.Q4.1 through 2023.Q4.5
Operating Systems: All supported platforms
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Only affects deployments with multiple virtual instances. Requires authenticated user access.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

An authenticated attacker could systematically enumerate and access shipment addresses across all virtual instances, potentially exposing sensitive customer information including names, addresses, and contact details from multiple organizations.

🟠

Likely Case

Authenticated users accidentally or intentionally accessing shipment addresses from virtual instances they shouldn't have access to, leading to data privacy violations and potential regulatory compliance issues.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper access controls and instance isolation, impact is limited to unauthorized data viewing within the same virtual instance only.

🌐 Internet-Facing: MEDIUM
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: MEDIUM

Exploitation requires understanding of Liferay's virtual instance architecture and authenticated access. Attack involves manipulating the commerceOrderId parameter.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.6 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://liferay.dev/portal/security/known-vulnerabilities/-/asset_publisher/jekt/content/CVE-2025-62241

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Download Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.6 or later from Liferay's customer portal. 2. Apply the patch following Liferay's standard patching procedures. 3. Verify the fix by testing virtual instance isolation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Implement custom access control filter

all

Add server-side validation to check virtual instance permissions before returning shipment address data

Implement custom portlet filter or service wrapper to validate user's virtual instance against requested commerceOrderId

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to isolate virtual instances at the network level
  • Add application-level monitoring for unusual cross-instance data access patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test if authenticated user from one virtual instance can access shipment addresses from another virtual instance by manipulating the commerceOrderId parameter in CommerceOrderPortlet requests.

Check Version:

Check Liferay DXP version in Control Panel → Configuration → Server Administration → System Information

Verify Fix Applied:

After patching, repeat the vulnerability test to confirm cross-virtual instance access is properly blocked.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual access patterns to shipment addresses across different virtual instance IDs
  • Failed access attempts to cross-instance resources

Network Indicators:

  • Multiple requests to CommerceOrderPortlet with varying commerceOrderId parameters from single user sessions

SIEM Query:

source="liferay" AND (uri="*CommerceOrderPortlet*" OR parameter="commerceOrderId") | stats count by src_ip, parameter_value
