AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately review and update Liferay Portal and DXP installations to the latest versions once patches become available. In the interim, implement strict input validation and output encoding on the 'redirect' parameter at the application level to neutralize malicious scripts. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious payloads targeting the vulnerable parameters. Conduct user awareness training to recognize and avoid phishing attempts involving suspicious URLs. Monitor web server logs for unusual requests containing script tags or encoded payloads in the 'redirect' parameter. Disable or restrict the use of the vulnerable Announcements and Alerts components if feasible until patched. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. Regularly audit and update security controls surrounding Liferay deployments, including authentication and session management mechanisms, to reduce the impact of potential XSS exploitation.

Description

Multiple reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.74 through 7.4.3.111, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.6, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, and 7.4 update 74 through update 92 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the `redirect` parameter to (1) Announcements, or (2) Alerts.
