{"id":"CVE-2019-11444","details":"An issue was discovered in Liferay Portal CE 7.1.2 GA3. An attacker can use Liferay's Groovy script console to execute OS commands. Commands can be executed via a [command].execute() call, as demonstrated by \"def cmd =\" in the ServerAdminPortlet_script value to group/control_panel/manage. Valid credentials for an application administrator user account are required. NOTE: The developer disputes this as a vulnerability since it is a feature for administrators to run groovy scripts and therefore not a design flaw","modified":"2026-04-10T04:14:14.480747Z","published":"2019-04-22T11:29:05.830Z","references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://dev.liferay.com/discover/portal/-/knowledge_base/7-1/running-scripts-from-the-script-console"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46525"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"https://pentest.com.tr/exploits/Liferay-CE-Portal-Tomcat-7-1-2-ga3-Groovy-Console-Remote-Command-Execution-Metasploit.html"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"0ac7dd652f3cac9b7880e6dea92912b2d02dca3a"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"7.1.2-ga3"}]}}],"versions":["6.1.0-b1","6.1.0-b2","6.1.0-b3","6.1.0-b4","6.1.0-rc1","6.2.0-b1","6.2.0-b2","6.2.0-m2","6.2.0-m3","6.2.0-m4","6.2.0-m5","6.2.0-m6","7.0.0-m1","7.0.0-m2","7.0.0-m3","7.0.0-m4","7.0.0-m5","7.1.0-a1","7.1.0-a2","7.1.0-b1","7.1.0-b2","7.1.0-ga1","7.1.0-m1","7.1.0-m2","7.1.0-rc1","7.1.2-ga3","sync-3.0.0-b1","sync-3.0.1-b2","sync-3.0.10-ga2","sync-3.0.2-b3","sync-3.0.3-b4","sync-3.0.4-b5","sync-3.0.5-b6","sync-3.0.6-b7","sync-3.0.7-b8","sync-3.0.8-b9","sync-3.0.9-ga1","sync-3.1.0-ga1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2019-11444.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
