# CVE-2024-8980: Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to CSRF in the Script Console

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (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 0.2% , percentile 14: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 14% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs a user to click or open something. Phishing makes that realistic, but it is not wormable.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven) >= 7.0.0-a1, < 7.4.3.102-GA102, fixed in 7.4.3.102-GA102 ; com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven) >= 2023.Q3.1, < 2023.Q3.5, fixed in 2023.Q3.5 ; com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven) >= 7.0.0-GA, <= 7.0.10.fp102, no fixed version listed ; com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven) >= 7.1.0-GA, <= 7.1.10.fp28, no fixed version listed . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

The Script Console in Liferay Portal 7.0.0 through 7.4.3.101, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 35, 7.2 GA through fix pack 20, 7.1 GA through fix pack 28, 7.0 GA through fix pack 102 and 6.2 GA through fix pack 173 does not sufficiently protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Groovy script via a crafted URL or a XSS vulnerability.

## Affected packages

- Maven `com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom` >= 7.1.0-GA, <= 7.1.10.fp28 → fixed: none listed
- Maven `com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom` >= 7.2.0.GA, <= 7.2.10.fp20 → fixed: none listed
- Maven `com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom` >= 7.3.0-GA, < 7.3.10.u36 → fixed: 7.3.10.u36
- Maven `com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom` >= 7.4.0-GA, <= 7.4.13.u92 → fixed: none listed

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.24% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 14.
