7.2 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2019-11444
High (7.2) in liferay liferay portal. EPSS 13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
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
