How do I fix GHSA-ccrc-5vp5-vp5j?

Update com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.search to 8.0.93 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-ccrc-5vp5-vp5j is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-ccrc-5vp5-vp5j in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-ccrc-5vp5-vp5j 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-ccrc-5vp5-vp5j actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-ccrc-5vp5-vp5j 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-ccrc-5vp5-vp5j?

GHSA-ccrc-5vp5-vp5j has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 14th 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.
