Description
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the My Account widget in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.75 through 7.4.3.111, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.2, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.5, 7.4 update 75 through update 92 and 7.3 update 32 through update 36 allows remote attackers to (1) change user passwords, (2) shut down the server, (3) execute arbitrary code in the scripting console, (4) and perform other administrative actions via the _com_liferay_my_account_web_portlet_MyAccountPortlet_backURL parameter.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom. 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.
Fix
Update com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom to 7.4.3.112 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-26271 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-26271 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2024-26271. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2024-26271 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2024-26271 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
