No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87?

GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87 affects the following packages: com.liferay:com.liferay.layout.admin.web (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87?

Update com.liferay:com.liferay.layout.admin.web to 5.0.191 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87 in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.

Is GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87 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-58cq-8wm2-6m87?

GHSA-58cq-8wm2-6m87 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 12th 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-58cq-8wm2-6m87?
