CVE-2025-62241 Overview
CVE-2025-62241 is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability [CWE-639] in Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) 2023.Q4.1 through 2023.Q4.5. The flaw resides in the commerce order portlet and allows a remote authenticated user in one virtual instance to view shipment addresses belonging to a different virtual instance. Attackers manipulate the _com_liferay_commerce_order_web_internal_portlet_CommerceOrderPortlet_commerceOrderId parameter to reference commerce orders they do not own. The issue breaks the tenant isolation model that multi-instance Liferay deployments rely on for data segregation.
Critical Impact
Authenticated users can enumerate commerce order IDs to disclose shipment addresses across virtual instance boundaries, exposing customer personally identifiable information (PII).

Technical Details for CVE-2025-62241
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability affects the CommerceOrderPortlet component of Liferay DXP, which handles rendering and lookup of commerce order data. When the portlet processes a request containing a commerceOrderId parameter, it retrieves and displays the associated shipment address without verifying that the requesting user belongs to the same virtual instance as the order owner.
Liferay virtual instances are intended to provide logical multi-tenancy, isolating users, content, and commerce data between organizations sharing a single deployment. This tenant boundary is enforced at the portal layer but is missing from the commerce order lookup path. An authenticated user in tenant A can therefore access shipment addresses stored under tenant B by supplying that tenant's commerce order identifiers.
The exposed data set includes shipment addresses, which typically contain recipient names, street addresses, cities, postal codes, and country information. This class of exposure has direct implications for privacy regulations such as GDPR when the affected instances host distinct customer populations.
Root Cause
The root cause is a missing authorization check on the commerceOrderId request parameter. The portlet retrieves order data by primary key without validating that the current user's virtual instance owns the referenced order. This maps directly to CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key.
Attack Vector
Exploitation requires only low-privileged authenticated access to any virtual instance on the target Liferay DXP deployment. The attacker submits a crafted request that includes the _com_liferay_commerce_order_web_internal_portlet_CommerceOrderPortlet_commerceOrderId parameter set to an order ID belonging to another virtual instance. Order IDs are sequential integers, so enumeration is straightforward. No user interaction from the victim is required.
The vulnerability manifests through direct object reference manipulation. See the Liferay CVE-2025-62241 Vulnerability advisory for vendor technical details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-62241
Indicators of Compromise
- Requests to the commerce order portlet containing commerceOrderId values that do not correspond to orders owned by the requesting user's virtual instance.
- High-volume sequential enumeration of commerceOrderId parameter values from a single authenticated session.
- Access log entries showing users from one virtual instance rendering commerce order URLs associated with another instance's hostname or company ID.
Detection Strategies
- Correlate portal access logs with virtual instance ownership to identify cross-tenant commerce order lookups.
- Baseline normal commerce order access patterns per user and alert on rapid ID enumeration or requests spanning multiple company IDs.
- Review application audit logs for CommerceOrderPortlet render requests where the resolved order's companyId differs from the session's companyId.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward Liferay access and audit logs to a centralized analytics platform for cross-instance correlation.
- Enable verbose logging on commerce portlets during triage to capture the resolved order owner alongside the requesting user.
- Monitor outbound data volumes from commerce portlet endpoints for anomalies consistent with bulk address scraping.
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-62241
Immediate Actions Required
- Inventory all Liferay DXP deployments and confirm which run affected versions 2023.Q4.1 through 2023.Q4.5.
- Apply the vendor fix referenced in the Liferay security advisory as soon as it is available in your maintenance channel.
- Audit historical access logs for cross-instance commerceOrderId requests to identify prior exposure.
- Notify data protection officers if evidence of unauthorized shipment address disclosure exists.
Patch Information
Refer to the official Liferay CVE-2025-62241 Vulnerability advisory for patch availability and upgrade guidance for Liferay DXP 2023.Q4. Customers on subscription channels should install the recommended service pack or quarterly release that includes the authorization fix for the CommerceOrderPortlet component.
Workarounds
- Restrict access to commerce portlets to only users and roles that require commerce order management, reducing the pool of authenticated actors who can exploit the flaw.
- Deploy a web application firewall rule to inspect and block requests where the commerceOrderId parameter resolves to an order outside the requester's company ID scope.
- Segregate high-sensitivity commerce tenants onto separate Liferay deployments until patching is complete to eliminate the shared-instance attack surface.
