MediumCVSS 4.8 · v4.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 19/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.22% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven) 7.4.3.112-ga112.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven) 7.4.3.112-ga112 or later.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Blogs widget in Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.111, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.10, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 36, and older unsupported versions allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted <iframe> injected into a blog entry's “Content” text field The Blogs widget in Liferay DXP does not add the sandbox attribute to <iframe> elements, which allows remote attackers to access the parent page via scripts and links in the frame page.
