Issue
-
In the Liferay theme dependencies, Lodash versions 3.10.1 and below are used extensively as dependencies throughout.
-
Versions of Lodash prior to 4.17.5 suffer from a security risk: CVE-2018-3721
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.0
- Liferay DXP 7.1
- Liferay Theme Generator
Resolution
- Impact to Liferay DXP:
- Liferay DXP is not vulnerable to this issue with Lodash because this code runs solely on a developer machine and not on any web-facing platform.
- Impact to Developers:
- Developers are not vulnerable to this issue as long as development machines are secured because to gain access to the vulnerability, an attacker would need to access the developer machine.
