MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with privileges to create or edit a Terms and Conditions entry's Name text field for either a Payment Term or a Delivery Term within Liferay's Commerce/order functionality (hence PR:L, not PR:N). The payload only fires when a second user - typically a back-office operator or customer viewing the order - loads the view order page that renders the stored term (UI:A/user interaction required). Limiting factors: the attacker cannot act fully unauthenticated, the malicious term must be reachable and rendered to a victim, and impact is confined to script execution in the victim's browser context (no direct server compromise, VA:N). This narrows realistic abuse to environments running Liferay Commerce with multi-user order workflows. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue, and the multiple signals are consistent rather than conflicting. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 4.8 (Medium) with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A - network reachable but requiring both low-level authentication (PR:L) and victim interaction (UI:A), with only Low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact (VC:L/VI:L/VA:N). This profile matches a typical stored XSS (CWE-79). The exploitation-probability signals reinforce low urgency: EPSS is 0.22% (12th percentile), the CVE is NOT on the CISA KEV list, and no public exploit code is referenced. There is no SSVC decision data in the input to incorporate. All signals align - low EPSS, no active exploitation, no POC, authenticated-and-interactive attack requirement - so this is a high-CVSS-but-not-really issue only in the sense that even its CVSS is modest. It is a legitimate finding to patch during normal maintenance, not an emergency. No signals conflict; the main caveat is that POC/exploitation status is simply absent from the provided intelligence rather than confirmed negative. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privileged user of a Liferay Commerce store injects a malicious script payload into the Name text field of a Payment Term or Delivery Term in a Terms and Conditions entry. When a back-office operator or another user later opens the view order page that renders that term, the stored script executes in their browser session. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, but stored XSS of this type is straightforward to craft. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.15 through 7.4.3.111 and Liferay DXP 7.4/2023.Q3-Q4 lets an authenticated user who can edit Terms and Conditions names inject script that executes when another user views an order page. The attacker must have an account with privileges to set Payment Term or Delivery Term name fields, and a victim must load the affected view order page. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.22% (12th percentile), and the issue is a low-to-moderate priority limited to script execution in the victim's browser.
RemediationAI
No exact fixed release is specified in the provided input data, so confirm and deploy the patched Liferay Portal/DXP version listed in the vendor advisory at https://liferay.dev/portal/security/known-vulnerabilities/-/asset_publisher/jekt/content/CVE-2025-43822. Until patched, restrict creation and editing of Payment Term and Delivery Term names to a minimal trusted administrative group, which reduces the number of users who can store payloads but does not remove risk from existing entries. Review and sanitize or remove HTML from existing Terms and Conditions name values and enforce output encoding when those fields are rendered; this may require application changes or validation rules and can reject legitimate markup. Deploy a Content Security Policy that blocks inline or untrusted script, with the trade-off that some Liferay UI features may require allowlisting adjustments. Limit access to view order pages to necessary users and monitor Terms and Conditions name changes for suspicious HTML or script, which lowers victim exposure but does not fix the underlying storage and rendering flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is CWE-79 stored cross-site scripting in Liferay's Commerce/Terms and Conditions workflow. User-supplied values in the Name field of a Payment Term or Delivery Term are persisted and later rendered on the view order page without sufficient output encoding, so crafted HTML or JavaScript is stored and executed in the browser of a user who views the order. The CPE data maps to liferay:digital_experience_platform, covering Liferay Portal/DXP deployments; the vulnerable surface is the order-view rendering path for terms. The assessed CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N reflects network reachability, low attack complexity, an authenticated account with term-editing privileges, required victim interaction, scope change, and low confidentiality/integrity impact with no availability impact. Exploitation does not directly compromise the server; impact is confined to the victim's browser session and the content that session can reach.
