Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability

Description

Liferay Portal 7.3.x prior to 7.3.6 is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. The Data Engine module in Liferay Portal 7.3.0 through 7.3.5 does not check permissions in DataDefinitionResourceImpl.getSiteDataDefinitionByContentTypeByDataDefinitionKey, which allows remote authenticated users to view DDMStructures via GET API calls.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Liferay Portal 7.3 CE GA7 (7.3.6) or later.
