What is CVE-2023-42627?

Multiple stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities have been identified in the Commerce module of Liferay Portal versions ranging from 7.3.5 to 7.4.3.91, as well as in Liferay DXP 7.3 update 33 and earlier and 7.4 before update 92. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to exploit various user-input fields such as Shipping and Billing details, enabling them to inject arbitrary web scripts or malicious HTML payloads. Such vulnerabilities pose significant security risks, as they can facilitate the execution of harmful scripts in the browser context of users, potentially leading to data theft or unauthorized actions on behalf of the affected site.

Affected Version(s)

DXP 7.3.10 <= 7.3.10.*

DXP 7.4.13 <= 7.4.13.u91

Portal 7.3.5 <= 7.4.3.91

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
