CVE-2022-38512: Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Fails to Check Permissions in Translation Module

September 23, 2022 (updated July 16, 2025)

The Translation module before v2.0.58 from Liferay Portal (v7.4.3.12 through v7.4.3.36), and Liferay DXP 7.4 update 8 through 36 does not check permissions before allowing a user to export a web content for translation, allowing attackers to download a web content page’s XLIFF translation file via crafted URL.
