Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-38901 exists.\n\nAffected product: Liferay Liferay Portal. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2022-38901/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38901/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38901","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38901/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38901","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pq9f-jx2p-2xwc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay DXP","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML via SVG file descriptions in Liferay DXP, potentially executing code in user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dxp","vendor":"liferay"},{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Document and Media module - file upload functionality in Liferay Digital Experience Platform 7.3.10 SP3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JS script or HTML into the description field of uploaded svg file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-38901","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"liferay:liferay_portal","products":["liferay:liferay_portal"],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-38902"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"decode-uri-component vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS)","id":"CVE-2022-38900"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-10-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to SQL Injection via the Fragment Module","id":"CVE-2022-42120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to SQL Injection via Friendly URL Module","id":"CVE-2022-42122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to CSRF via the Layout Module","id":"CVE-2023-35030","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Vulnerable to Multiple SQL Injections","id":"CVE-2021-29053","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP insecure default configuration","id":"CVE-2021-33321","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Fails to Invalidate CAPTCHA Answers After Use","id":"CVE-2021-29047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-16"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Fails to Check Permissions in Translation Module","id":"CVE-2022-38512","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-09","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML via SVG file descriptions in Liferay DXP, potentially executing code in user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38901/"}
