An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-6588 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 7.1.0\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 7.1.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6588/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6588/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-6588","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6588/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-6588","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hwp2-gvm5-452f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cross-site scripting in Liferay Portal's SimpleCaptcha API allows attackers to execute scripts if custom code passes unsanitized input to the captcha URL parameter.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"In Liferay Portal before 7.1 CE GA4, an XSS vulnerability exists in the SimpleCaptcha API when custom code passes unsanitized input into the \"url\" parameter of the JSP taglib call \u003cliferay-ui:captcha url=\"\u003c%= url %\u003e\" /\u003e or \u003cliferay-captcha:captcha url=\"\u003c%= url %\u003e\" /\u003e.
