FAQ

As there has been an uprise in the number of actively exploited vulnerabilities in the web portal software 'Liferay', this site was created to let people figure out if their website is built using 'Liferay' and to help them identify how safe and secure their website is.

Liferay is an enterprise grade software product suited for building webapplications that deal with many members (e.g. intranets, extranets, communities etc).

Liferay comes in two editions:

  1. an edition with no warranty from the manufacturer, and that can be downloaded and used by anyone for free
  2. an edition that has warranty from the manufacturer, and that can be used by organisations that purchase a support subscription from the manufacturer.
The first edition is nowadays referred to as 'Community Edition' (CE), and the second one as 'Digital Experience Platform' (DXP). The precursor of the 'Community Edition' was called 'Standard Edition' and the precursor of the 'Digital Experience Platform' was referred to as the 'Enterprise Edition' (EE). These older editions are still being used by many organisations today. Although users of the Community Edition are not entitled to Fix Packs and Hot fixes as the users of DXP are, these can benefit a lot from upgrading to more recent community releases that have security vulnerabilities patched.

All editions come in multiple versions. The version of a Liferay, indicated by a version number, signifies the type of release, i.e. it indicates whether it’s a major, minor or maintenance release. Prior to Liferay DXP 7.4.13 and prior to Liferay CE 7.4.3 versions were organized in a straightforward numerical system consisting of a three digit number. For example, 7.2.1. These numbers represent the type of the release: 'Major.Minor.Maintenance'.

Recent versions of Liferay DXP use a versioning scheme 'Major.Minor.SubMinor update XX' where XX indicates the maintenance update, e.g. 'Liferay DXP 7.4.13 update 15' represents the 15th evolution of Liferay DXP 7.4.13.

Recent versions of Liferay CE use the versioning scheme 'Major.Minor.SubMinor.Maintenance', e.g. 'Liferay CE 7.4.3.12' represents the 12th maintenance release of Liferay CE 7.4.3.
