Liferay Portal 7.4.3.4 < 7.4.3.49 Authentication Bypass

medium Nessus Plugin ID 176453

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by a authentication bypass vulnerability

Description

The Object module in Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP does properly isolate objects in difference virtual instances, which allows remote authenticated users in one virtual instance to view objects in a different virtual instance via OAuth 2 scope administration page.

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 7.4.3.49 or later.
