In Liferay Portal before 7.3.2 and Liferay DXP 7.0 before fix pack 92, 7.1 before fix pack 18, and 7.2 before fix pack 6, the template API does not restrict user access to sensitive objects, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via crafted FreeMarker and Velocity templates.
CVE-2020-13445
This high-severity CVE scores 8.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 3.7%, top 12% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
