Which packages are affected by CVE-2023-44311?

CVE-2023-44311 affects the following packages: com.liferay:com.liferay.oauth2.provider.rest (Maven), com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2023-44311?

Update com.liferay:com.liferay.oauth2.provider.rest to 4.0.51 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-44311 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2023-44311 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.liferay:com.liferay.oauth2.provider.rest. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2023-44311 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2023-44311?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2023-44311 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2023-44311 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2023-44311 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2023-44311?

CVE-2023-44311 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 36th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was CVE-2023-44311 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2023-44311 was published on October 17, 2023 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Multiple reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Plugin for OAuth 2.0 module's OAuth2ProviderApplicationRedirect class in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.41 through 7.4.3.89, and Liferay DXP 7.4 update 41 through update 89 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) code, or (2) error parameter. This issue is caused by an incomplete fix in CVE-2023-33941.
