Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Open Redirect vulnerability in /c/portal/edit_info_item parameter redirect in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.86 through 7.4.3.131, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q3.1 through 2024.Q3.9, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.12 and 7.4 update 86 through update 92 allows an attacker to exploit this security vulnerability to redirect users to a malicious site.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Open redirect vulnerability in Liferays /c/portal/edit_info_item endpoint allows manipulation of the 'redirect' parameter to redirect users to attacker-controlled external sites. Insufficient validation of the redirect URL destination permits relative or absolute URLs to pass through unchecked.

MitigationUpgrade to Liferays patched versions (Portal 7.4.3.132+, DXP 2024.Q3.10+, 2024.Q2.14+, 2024.Q1.13+, or 7.4 update 93+). As a compensating control, implement URL validation or WAF rules to restrict the redirect parameter to trusted domains.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed Liferay Portal version
    Access the Liferay control panel or check the portal-ext.properties file for the version property. Alternatively, access the /c/portal/layout page or check the WAR file manifest for version information.
    Affected if The version is >= 7.4.3.86 and < 7.4.3.132
  2. Identify the installed Liferay DXP version and update level
    Access the Liferay DXP control panel or check the Liferay home directory for version metadata. Liferay DXP typically displays the version in the product information section of the control panel.
    Affected if The version is 7.4, or falls within >= 2024.Q1.1 and < 2024.Q1.13, >= 2024.Q2.0 and <= 2024.Q2.13, or >= 2024.Q3.1 and < 2024.Q3.10
  3. Confirm the /c/portal/edit_info_item endpoint is accessible
    Attempt to access the /c/portal/edit_info_item endpoint via a web browser or curl request. This endpoint is typically available to authenticated users with profile editing permissions.
    Affected if The endpoint responds and accepts requests, indicating it is publicly or internally accessible
  4. Test the redirect parameter for unvalidated redirection
    Send a request to /c/portal/edit_info_item with a redirect parameter set to an external domain (for example: ?redirect=https://example.com). Observe whether the application allows the external URL without validation or blocking.
    Affected if The redirect parameter accepts and reflects external URLs without validation, allowing redirection to arbitrary domains

The environment is affected if the installed Liferay Portal or DXP version falls within any of the affected version ranges AND the /c/portal/edit_info_item endpoint accepts unvalidated external URLs in the redirect parameter.

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed Liferay Portal or DXP version using the Control Panel or server logs
  2. 2. For Liferay Portal 7.4.3.86 through 7.4.3.131: upgrade to version 7.4.3.132 or later
  3. 3. For Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.x (2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.12): upgrade to 2024.Q1.13 or later
  4. 4. For Liferay DXP 2024.Q2.x (2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13): upgrade to 2024.Q2.14 or later
