Liferay Portal 7.4.3.61 <= 7.4.3.131 XSS

low Nessus Plugin ID 245206

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The fragment preview functionality in Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP was found to be vulnerable to postMessage-based XSS because it allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to inject JavaScript into the fragment portlet URL.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade Liferay Portal based upon the guidance specified in the advisory.
