Summary
JSON web services in Liferay Portal 7.3.4 and earlier, and Liferay DXP 7.0 before fix pack 97, 7.1 before fix pack 20, and 7.2 before fix pack 10 may return overly verbose error messages. Remote attackers can use the content of these error messages to launch more focused attacks via crafted inputs.
Risk Assessment
The organization is at risk of information disclosure about the internal system structure, which can help an attacker conduct precise attacks such as code injection or privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Immediately update Liferay Portal to version 7.3.5 or later, and Liferay DXP to the appropriate fix pack (97 for 7.0, 20 for 7.1, 10 for 7.2). Additionally, configure the server to avoid revealing detailed error messages.
