CVE-2020-7934: Liferay Portal

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 4.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In LifeRay Portal CE 7.1.0 through 7.2.1 GA2, the First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name fields for user accounts in MyAccountPortlet are all vulnerable to a persistent XSS issue. Any user can modify these fields with a particular XSS payload, and it will be stored in the database. The payload will then be rendered when a user utilizes the search feature to search for other users (i.e., if a user with modified fields occurs in the search results). This issue was fixed in Liferay Portal CE version 7.3.0 GA1.

Affected products

• Liferay Liferay Portal: from 7.1.0, up to and including 7.2.1
