AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately assess their Liferay Portal and DXP deployments to identify affected versions. Until official patches are released, organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block malicious payloads targeting the vulnerable parameter. 2) Apply strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data, especially parameters related to productTypeName, to prevent script injection. 4) Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking on suspicious links and encourage reporting of unusual behavior. 5) Monitor web server and application logs for unusual requests containing suspicious script patterns targeting the vulnerable parameter. 6) Plan and prioritize patching as soon as Liferay releases official updates addressing this vulnerability. 7) Consider isolating or restricting access to the affected portals if feasible, especially for high-risk user groups. These targeted measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable parameter and leveraging layered defenses to reduce attack surface and impact.

Description

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.112, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.18 and 7.4 GA through update 92 allows a remote authenticated attacker to inject JavaScript code via _com_liferay_commerce_product_definitions_web_internal_portlet_CPDefinitionsPortlet_productTypeName parameter. This malicious payload is then reflected and executed within the user's browser.
