Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:NSummary
CVE-2024-25146 is a medium-severity Observable Response Discrepancy (CWE-204) vulnerability in Liferay Digital Experience Platform. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Account Discovery (T1087); ranked at the 45th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-6 (Authentication Feedback) and SI-11 (Error Handling) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
Liferay Portal 7.2.0 through 7.4.1, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 7.3 before service pack 3, 7.2 before fix pack 18, and older unsupported versions returns with different responses depending on whether a site does not exist or if…

the user does not have permission to access the site, which allows remote attackers to discover the existence of sites by enumerating URLs. This vulnerability occurs if locale.prepend.friendly.url.style=2 and if a custom 404 page is used.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Obscuring authentication feedback directly stops one common source of observable response discrepancies.
Error handling explicitly requires messages that avoid revealing exploitable internal information.
Information flow enforcement can block responses that would otherwise disclose internal state to unauthorized parties.
Boundary protection monitors and filters outbound responses that could leak internal state.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly prevent introduction of inconsistent response behavior that leaks internal state.

Security testing can detect observable response discrepancies before deployment.
Network security controls can enforce uniform responses and suppress observable discrepancies.
Secure SDLC practices include error-handling and response standardization to avoid information disclosure.
Application security requirements typically mandate consistent, non-revealing error messages.
Secure architecture principles discourage designs that leak internal state via differing responses.
Secure coding standards explicitly require uniform error handling to prevent information leakage.
