| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a valid authenticated Liferay account (CVSS PR:L) with access to the Account Entries Admin portlet (_com_liferay_account_admin_web_internal_portlet_AccountEntriesAdminPortlet); the attacker then supplies another account's identifier in the addressId parameter. No user interaction is needed (UI:N). Limiting factors: exploitation is gated behind authentication, so risk rises sharply where self-registration is enabled or many tenants/accounts share the instance, and falls where accounts are tightly controlled. Impact is limited to reading address data of other accounts (confidentiality only); no data modification or service disruption is possible. Affected deployments are Liferay Portal 7.4.3.4-7.4.3.111 and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0-2023.Q4.5, 2023.Q3.1-2023.Q3.8, and 7.4 GA through update 92. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but low-to-medium priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) and the CWE-639 IDOR classification agree with the description: a remote, already-authenticated user with a low-privilege account can read address data belonging to a different account by tampering with the addressId parameter. All signals point the same direction and are internally consistent - impact is confined to confidentiality (VC:L, with VI:N/VA:N), matching the 5.3 Medium base score. EPSS is low at 0.30% (21st percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The principal caveat is that exploitation requires a valid authenticated account (PR:L), which substantially limits the attacker population to insiders or anyone able to self-register where registration is open. Nothing in the data conflicts, but note the sole reference URL points to advisory content for CVE-2025-62245 rather than this CVE (-62242), so the linked advisory should be verified against the correct identifier. Net: prioritize patching on multi-tenant or self-registration Liferay deployments where account address data is sensitive, but this does not warrant out-of-band emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privilege authenticated user (or anyone who can self-register on an open Liferay portal) logs in and issues a request to the Account Entries Admin portlet, substituting a different account's identifier in the _com_liferay_account_admin_web_internal_portlet_AccountEntriesAdminPortlet_addressId parameter. Because the application fails to verify that the referenced address belongs to the requester's account, it returns another account's address details. No public exploit code is identified; the attack requires only a crafted authenticated HTTP request with no special tooling or user interaction. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026
Authenticated Liferay users can exploit an insecure direct object reference in the Account Entries Admin portlet to read address records belonging to other accounts by manipulating the addressId parameter. The issue affects Liferay Portal 7.4.3.4 through 7.4.3.111 and multiple Liferay DXP 7.4 GA, 2023.Q3, and 2023.Q4 releases; impact is confidentiality-only, with no data modification or service disruption reported. EPSS is low at 0.30% (21st percentile), and no public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Consult Liferay's known-vulnerabilities advisory at https://liferay.dev/portal/security/known-vulnerabilities/-/asset_publisher/jekt/content/CVE-2025-62245 to identify and apply the fixed Portal/DXP release; no exact fixed version is specified in the provided data, so confirm the patched update level before upgrading. Until patched, restrict access to the Account Entries Admin portlet to trusted administrative roles, which may disrupt legitimate account administration; disable self-registration or require manual approval to limit attacker-controlled accounts, which affects onboarding; and enforce least privilege so ordinary users cannot reach account-admin functionality. Monitor access logs for anomalous addressId values or cross-account address reads, accepting additional logging and storage overhead. Also verify the advisory entry because the provided URL is labeled CVE-2025-62245 while this record is CVE-2025-62242.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) is the root cause: the Java-based Liferay Digital Experience Platform exposes the Account Entries Admin portlet (_com_liferay_account_admin_web_internal_portlet_AccountEntriesAdminPortlet) with an addressId parameter, but the application does not verify that the requested address belongs to the authenticated user's account. This is a horizontal IDOR/authorization bypass rather than an authentication bypass, despite the source tagging it as such; the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, meaning a valid low-privileged account is required and only confidentiality is affected. CPE enumeration points to liferay:digital_experience_platform 7.4 and 2023.q3.1 through 2023.q3.9; the assessed range is 2023.Q3.1-2023.Q3.8, so the Q3.9 CPE entry should be checked against the vendor advisory for confirmation. Exploitation is gated behind authentication and access to the portlet, so risk rises where self-registration is enabled or many tenants share an instance, and falls where accounts are tightly controlled.
