Summary
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability on the Membership page in Account Settings in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.21 through 7.4.3.111, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.5, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, and 7.4 update 21 through update 92 allows remote authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted payload injected into a Account's “Name“ text field.
Impact
Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.
Affected versions
Security releases
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.
Remediation advice
Kodem Kai can prioritize this vulnerability in your dependency tree and generate a fix recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-62238? CVE-2025-62238 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in com.liferay:com.liferay.account.admin.web (maven), affecting versions >= 2.0.40, < 2.0.114. It is fixed in 2.0.114. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.
- Which versions of com.liferay:com.liferay.account.admin.web are affected by CVE-2025-62238? com.liferay:com.liferay.account.admin.web (maven) versions >= 2.0.40, < 2.0.114 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-62238? Yes. CVE-2025-62238 is fixed in 2.0.114. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2025-62238 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-62238 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-2025-62238 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.
- How do I fix CVE-2025-62238? Upgrade
com.liferay:com.liferay.account.admin.webto 2.0.114 or later.
