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
By default, Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.119, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.5, 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.10, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.10, 7.4 GA through update 92, and older unsupported versions is vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks, which allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs. This vulnerability can be mitigated by changing the redirect URL security from IP to domain.

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

Liferay Portal and DXP are vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks that allow remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs. The vulnerability exists because the redirect URL security defaults to IP-based validation, which can be bypassed through DNS rebinding techniques where an attacker controls DNS responses to map a domain to different IP addresses over time.

MitigationChange the redirect URL security setting from IP-based validation to domain-based validation in the Liferay configuration. This configuration change prevents attackers from bypassing redirect validation through DNS rebinding.

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 Limerick product and version
    Locate the Limerick installation and check the version. In the Limerick Control Panel, go to Configuration > Server Administration > Product Information, or check the version file in the Limerick home directory.
    Affected if The version is Limerick DXP 7.3, 7.4, or any 2023.q3.x through 2023.q4.x release, OR Limerick Portal version 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.109.
  2. Locate redirect URL security configuration
    Access the Limerick Control Panel and navigate to Configuration > System Settings > Security > Security Navigation. Alternatively, check the portal-ext.properties or portal-setup-wizard.properties file in the Limerick home directory for the property that controls redirect URL validation.
    Affected if The configuration uses IP-based validation for redirect URLs, which is the default setting.
  3. Verify redirect URL security mode
    In System Settings, check the 'Redirect URL Security' configuration. Look for a setting that specifies whether validation is based on IP addresses or domains. In properties files, search for a property related to redirect URL validation mode.
    Affected if The validation mode is set to allow redirects based on IP address matching rather than domain matching.
  4. Confirm external redirect capability is enabled
    Check if the system allows redirects to external URLs. In System Settings, verify the 'Redirect URL Security' entries include allowed host patterns or the IP-based validation is actively being used for redirect handling.
    Affected if External redirects are processed through the IP-based validation mechanism, making them vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks.

You are affected if your Limerick version falls within the listed ranges AND the redirect URL security is configured to use IP-based validation (the default) rather than domain-based validation.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 7.4.3.110 or later
Fixed in 7.4.3.110
Interim mitigation

Change the redirect URL security setting from IP-based validation to domain-based validation in the Liferay configuration. This configuration change prevents attackers from bypassing redirect validation through DNS rebinding.

Recommended fix High confidence

Liferay Portal 7.4.3.110+ or Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.6+/2023.Q4.11+/2023.Q3.11+/7.4 update 93+

  1. 1. Identify the exact Lifter Portal or DXP version currently deployed using the Server Administration panel or the osgi/state endpoint
  2. 2. For Liferay Portal 7.4.x users: Upgrade to Liferay Portal 7.4.3.110 or later to resolve the open redirect vulnerability
  3. 3. For Liferay DXP users: Upgrade to a version beyond the affected ranges - DXP 2024.Q1.6+, 2023.Q4.11+, or 2023.Q3.11+ (or the equivalent update beyond update 92 for DXP 7.4 GA)
  4. 4. After upgrade, verify the redirect URL security setting by navigating to Control Panel > System Settings > Security > Security Pages and verifying the redirect URL configuration
  5. 5. Test that legitimate redirects still function correctly after the upgrade
Caveat Review custom redirect configurations and ensure they align with the new domain-based security model; test thoroughly in non-production first
