Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

CVE-2025-62248 is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in certain versions of Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP. It occurs due to a regression that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code via the _com_liferay_dynamic_data_mapping_web_portlet_DDMPortlet_definition parameter. When a victim accesses a URL containing this crafted parameter, the malicious script runs in their browser. [1]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with authenticated access to inject malicious JavaScript code that executes in the browsers of other users who visit a crafted URL. This can lead to actions such as session hijacking, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. However, the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is considered low according to the CVSS score. [1]

Detection Guidance

Detection involves identifying URLs containing the parameter `_com_liferay_dynamic_data_mapping_web_portlet_DDMPortlet_definition` with suspicious or crafted JavaScript payloads. You can monitor web server logs or use network traffic inspection tools to search for this parameter in HTTP requests. For example, using grep on access logs: `grep '_com_liferay_dynamic_data_mapping_web_portlet_DDMPortlet_definition' /path/to/access.log`. Additionally, web vulnerability scanners that support reflected XSS detection can be used to test the affected Liferay Portal or DXP instances. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include applying the official patches or updates provided by Liferay. The vulnerability has been fixed in Liferay Portal master branch and in Liferay DXP versions 2024.Q1.20, 2025.Q1.17, and 2025.Q2.10. Until patches can be applied, restrict access to the affected Liferay versions to trusted users only, as the vulnerability requires authenticated access. Additionally, consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to block requests containing the vulnerable parameter with suspicious payloads. [1]
