How to Fix CVE-2025-43793

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Com.liferay.portal.impl dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

com.liferay.portal:com.liferay.portal.impl fixed: 96.0.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.liferay.portal</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.liferay.portal.impl</artifactId>
    <version>96.0.0</version>
</dependency>
com.liferay.portal:com.liferay.portal.kernel fixed: 130.0.1 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.liferay.portal</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.liferay.portal.kernel</artifactId>
    <version>130.0.1</version>
</dependency>
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-2025-43793, 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 Com.liferay.portal.impl in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 96.0.0), 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-1284: Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input, where the product receives input that is expected to specify a quantity (such as size or length), but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the quantity has the required properties. In Com.liferay.portal.impl, 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

Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.105, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 35, and older unsupported versions may incorrectly identify the subdomain of a domain name and create a supercookie, which allows remote attackers who control a website that share the same TLD to read cookies set by the application.
