Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.liferay.portal

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-8980, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.liferay.portal

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Release.portal.bom in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.4.3.102-GA102), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.liferay.portal command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Release.portal.bom, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

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. This issue has been patched in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.102, Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.1, Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0, Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.5, and Liferay DXP 7.3 Update 36.
