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

Requires a low-privileged authenticated Liferay Commerce account (PR:L) capable of editing the Account 'Name' text field, which is where the arbitrary script/HTML is stored. Exploitation is NOT automatic: a second user (UI:A / UI:R) - in practice a store operator or administrator - must subsequently open the affected account's order on the Commerce view order page for the stored payload to execute. Affected deployments are Liferay Portal 7.4.3.8-7.4.3.111 and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0-2023.Q4.5, 2023.Q3.1-2023.Q3.8, and 7.4 update 8-92 that have the Commerce module in use; portals without Commerce/order workflows are not exposed. Limiting factors: authentication requirement, mandatory privileged-victim interaction, and dependence on the Commerce feature being deployed.

Impact

This is a genuinely medium/low-priority issue, and the signals are mutually consistent rather than conflicting. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:A) yields only 4.8, reflecting that exploitation requires an authenticated account (PR:L) and active victim interaction (UI:A), with only low confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:L/VI:L) and no availability impact. EPSS reinforces low real-world risk at 0.22% (12th percentile). There is no CISA KEV listing and no public POC identified, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' No SSVC decision data was provided in the input. The one caveat is scope: stored XSS executes in a victim's browser session, so the practical impact (session/token theft, actions as the viewing user) can exceed the modest numeric score if the victim is a privileged store operator or administrator - but nothing here indicates widespread or automatable exploitation. Overall this is a high-severity-vector-but-low-real-risk profile: a legitimate bug worth patching on a normal cycle, not an emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a low-privileged Commerce account sets their Account 'Name' field to a crafted payload containing malicious script/HTML. When a store operator or administrator later opens that account's order via the Commerce view order page, the stored payload executes in the privileged viewer's browser, enabling session-context actions such as cookie/token theft or UI manipulation. No public exploit code has been identified, and a victim must actively view the affected page (UI:A) for the attack to fire.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Liferay Commerce’s view order page allows an authenticated low-privileged user to inject arbitrary script or HTML into an Account’s “Name” field, which then executes when a store operator or administrator opens the affected account’s order. Liferay Portal 7.4.3.8 through 7.4.3.111 and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1-2023.Q3.8, 2023.Q4.0-2023.Q4.5, and 7.4 update 8 through update 92 are affected when the Commerce module is in use. No public exploit code or CISA KEV active exploitation is identified, and EPSS is low at 0.22%.

RemediationAI

Consult Liferay’s known-vulnerabilities advisory at https://liferay.dev/portal/security/known-vulnerabilities/-/asset_publisher/jekt/content/CVE-2025-62237 to identify and apply the fixed Liferay Portal, Liferay DXP, or Commerce module release; the provided data does not specify an exact fixed version, so confirm the patched build with Liferay before upgrading. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict the ability to edit Account “Name” fields to trusted administrators, review and sanitize existing account names, and limit access to the Commerce view order page; these reduce exposure but do not fix the underlying output-encoding flaw and may disrupt normal account and order workflows. Ensure Commerce templates and customizations apply context-aware output encoding to stored account data, and monitor account records for suspicious script or HTML content.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is a CWE-79 stored cross-site scripting flaw in the Liferay Commerce view order page. User-supplied content from an Account’s “Name” text field is persisted and later rendered without sufficient output encoding or sanitization, allowing script or HTML to execute in the browser of a user who views the associated order. The CVSS vector shows network access, low privileges, and user interaction, consistent with an authenticated Commerce user storing the payload and a second privileged user triggering it. CPE data identifies Liferay Digital Experience Platform (Liferay DXP) as the affected platform, with the flaw specific to deployments that use the Commerce order workflow.
