How severe is GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj?

GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj has a CVSS score of 9/10, rated CRITICAL. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj?

GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj affects the following packages: com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven), com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven), com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj?

Update com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom to 7.4.3.102 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj 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-q2cv-7j58-rfmj 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-q2cv-7j58-rfmj actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj 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-q2cv-7j58-rfmj?

GHSA-q2cv-7j58-rfmj has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.6%, placing it in the 49th 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-q2cv-7j58-rfmj?
