Title: Liferay DXP External Control of System or Configuration Setting Vulnerability

Overview:

Remote staging in Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.105 and older unsupported versions and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4 7.4 GA through update 92 7.3 GA through update 35 and older unsupported versions does not properly obtain the remote address of the live site from the database which which allows remote authenticated users to exfiltrate data to an attacker controlled server (i.e. a fake live site) via the _com_liferay_exportimport_web_portlet_ExportImportPortlet_remoteAddress and _com_liferay_exportimport_web_portlet_ExportImportPortlet_remotePort parameters. To successfully exploit this vulnerability an attacker must also successfully obtain the staging servers shared secret and add the attacker controlled server to the staging servers whitelist.
