CVE-2025-3586
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In Liferay Portal 7.4.3.27 through 7.4.3.42, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.20, 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.10, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.10, 7.4 update 27 through update 42 (Liferay PaaS, and Liferay Self-Hosted), the Objects module does not restrict the use of Groovy scripts in Object actions for Admin Users. This allows remote authenticated admin users with the Instance Administrator role to execute arbitrary Groovy scripts (i.e., remote code execution) through Object actions. In contrast, in Liferay DXP (Liferay SaaS), the use of Groovy in Object actions is not allowed due to the high security risks it poses. Starting from Liferay DXP 2024.Q2 and later, a new feature has been introduced in Instance Settings that allows administrators to configure whether Groovy scripts are allowed in their instances.

Esto permite a usuarios administradores remotos autenticados con el rol de Administrador de Instancia ejecutar scripts Groovy arbitrarios (es decir, ejecución remota de código) a través de acciones de Objeto.\n\nEn contraste, en Liferay DXP (Liferay SaaS), el uso de Groovy en acciones de Objeto no está permitido debido a los altos riesgos de seguridad que plantea.\n\nA partir de Liferay DXP 2024.Q2 y posteriores, se ha introducido una nueva característica en la Configuración de Instancia que permite a los administradores configurar si los scripts Groovy están permitidos en sus instancias."
