Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from the Account Settings page embedding hashed passwords in HTML output. In Liferay's architecture:
- Portlet render methods (like AccountSettingsPortlet.render) typically prepare data for display
- JSP files (like view.jsp) handle HTML generation
- The CWE-201 classification indicates sensitive data insertion during response generation
- The MITM attack vector implies client-side exposure of the hash While exact code isn't available, Liferay's modular structure and vulnerability pattern strongly suggest these components are responsible for improperly exposing the password hash during page rendering.
