Liferay · Liferay Portal · CVE-2023-42496
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Liferay Portal versions 7.3.3 through 7.4.3.97
Liferay DXP 2023.Q3 before patch 6
Liferay DXP 7.4 GA through update 92
Liferay DXP 7.3 before update 34
**Description**
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists on the add assignees to a role page, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the ` com liferay roles admin web portlet RolesAdminPortlet tabs2` parameter. This enables attackers to execute malicious scripts on the victim's browser.
**Recommendations**
For Liferay Portal versions 7.3.3 through 7.4.3.97, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
For Liferay DXP 2023.Q3, apply patch 6 or later.
For Liferay DXP 7.4 GA, apply update 93 or later.
For Liferay DXP 7.3, apply update 35 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the add assignees to a role page until a patch is applied. Avoid using the ` com liferay roles admin web portlet RolesAdminPortlet tabs2` parameter in the affected page until the issue is resolved.
