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-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf 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-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf 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-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf?

GHSA-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 13th 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-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf?

GHSA-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf 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-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-m5c7-5gv3-hcpf was published on August 12, 2025 and was last updated on August 14, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
