Description
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in a custom object’s /o/c/<object-name> API endpoint in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.51 through 7.4.3.109, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 update 51 through update 92, and 7.3 update 33 through update 35. allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the externalReferenceCode 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.workspace:com.liferay.ticket.workspace, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update com.liferay.workspace:com.liferay.ticket.workspace to 20240122.0632 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vg6h-g5mr-9hgv is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-vg6h-g5mr-9hgv can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-vg6h-g5mr-9hgv. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
