# CVE-2024-25602: Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP's Users Admin module vulnerable to stored Cross-site Scripting

**Signal:** Critical, preconditions apply. Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.6% , percentile 49: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.6% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 49% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (low (any account)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven) <= 7.4.2, no fixed version listed ; com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven) >= 7.3.0, < 7.3.10.u4, fixed in 7.3.10.u4 ; com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven) >= 7.2.0, < 7.2.10.fp17, fixed in 7.2.10.fp17 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Users Admin module's edit user page in Liferay Portal 7.2.0 through 7.4.2, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 7.3 before service pack 3, 7.2 before fix pack 17, and older unsupported versions allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted payload injected into an organization’s “Name” text field

## Affected packages

- Maven `com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom` <= 7.4.2 → fixed: none listed
- Maven `com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom` >= 7.3.0, < 7.3.10.u4 → fixed: 7.3.10.u4
- Maven `com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom` >= 7.2.0, < 7.2.10.fp17 → fixed: 7.2.10.fp17

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Liferay Portal: 7.2.0 <= 7.4.2
- Liferay DXP: 7.3.10 <= 7.3.10-dxp-2, 7.2.10 <= 7.2.10-dxp-16

## Severity

- Liferay CVSS 3.1: 9 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.0 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact partial .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.61% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 49.
