No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw?

GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw affects the following packages: com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw?

Update com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom to 7.4.3.112-ga112 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw 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 GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw 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 GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw?

GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 11th 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.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw?

GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-56jv-4ww3-65mw was published on October 30, 2025 and was last updated on October 31, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Blogs widget in Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.111, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.10, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.8, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 36, and older unsupported versions allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted <iframe> injected into a blog entry's “Content” text field.

The Blogs widget in Liferay DXP does not add the sandbox attribute to <iframe> elements, which allows remote attackers to access the parent page via scripts and links in the frame page.
