1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-3594)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the "_com_liferay_server_admin_web_portlet_ServerAdminPortlet_jarName" parameter. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and add arbitrary files on the system, leading to arbitrary code execution.
