Summary
Liferay Portal's System, Instance and Site Settings are vulnerable to Open Redirect
An open redirect vulnerability in the System Settings in Liferay Portal 7.1.0 through 7.4.3.101, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4 , 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 35, and older unsupported versions allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs via the _com_liferay_configuration_admin_web_portlet_SystemSettingsPortlet_redirect parameter.
An open redirect vulnerability in the Instance Settings in Liferay Portal 7.1.0 through 7.4.3.101, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 35, and older unsupported versions allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs via the _com_liferay_configuration_admin_web_portlet_InstanceSettingsPortlet_redirect parameter.
An open redirect vulnerability in the Site Settings in Liferay Portal 7.1.0 through 7.4.3.101, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 35, and older unsupported versions allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs via the _com_liferay_site_admin_web_portlet_SiteSettingsPortlet_redirect parameter.
Impact
Untrusted input controls a URL used for redirection, which can forward users to attacker-controlled sites. Typical impact: phishing and credential harvesting via a trusted domain.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-43795? CVE-2025-43795 is a medium-severity open redirect vulnerability in com.liferay:com.liferay.configuration.admin.web (maven), affecting versions >= 2.0.7, < 5.0.76. It is fixed in 5.0.76, 5.0.103. Untrusted input controls a URL used for redirection, which can forward users to attacker-controlled sites.
- Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-43795?
com.liferay:com.liferay.configuration.admin.web(maven) (versions >= 2.0.7, < 5.0.76)com.liferay:com.liferay.site.admin.web(maven) (versions >= 2.0.4, < 5.0.103)
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-43795? Yes. CVE-2025-43795 is fixed in 5.0.76, 5.0.103. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2025-43795 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-43795 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-43795 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
