How do I fix GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg?

Update com.liferay:com.liferay.translation.web to 2.0.58 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.

Is GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-h9ww-wjg4-jvvg 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.
