Description

User enumeration vulnerability in Liferay Portal 7.2.0 through 7.4.3.26, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 7.4 before update 27, 7.3 before update 8, 7.2 before fix pack 20, and older unsupported versions allows remote attackers to determine if an account exist in the application by comparing the request's response time.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom to 7.4.3.27-ga27 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qm43-g2xj-hvg5 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-qm43-g2xj-hvg5 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-qm43-g2xj-hvg5. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
