Description
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exist in the Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.131, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.7, 2024.Q3.0 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13 and 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.20 that affects custom object attachment fields. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the application into making unauthorized requests to other instances, creating new object entries that link to external resources.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.liferay:com.liferay.object.service, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update com.liferay:com.liferay.object.service to 1.0.208 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-477q-x55m-j38g is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.
