Description
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Redirect module's redirection administration page in Liferay Portal 7.3.2 through 7.3.5, and Liferay DXP 7.3 before fix pack 1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the _com_liferay_redirect_web_internal_portlet_RedirectPortlet_destinationURL parameter.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
No patched version of com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom has shipped for GHSA-qcv4-gv43-498v yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-qcv4-gv43-498v is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-qcv4-gv43-498v. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-qcv4-gv43-498v in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qcv4-gv43-498v across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
