An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2022-42118 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven): affected from 7.1.0; fixed in 7.1.10.fp27\n- com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven): affected from 7.1.0; fixed in 7.1.10.fp27\n- com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven): affected from 7.2.0; fixed in 7.2.10.fp15\n- com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom (Maven): affected from 7.2.0; fixed in 7.2.10.fp15\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.search.web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 6.0.12\n- com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.search.web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 6.0.12\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-2022-42118/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42118/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42118","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42118/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42118","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mr77-4pm4-x9vm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the tag parameter in the Portal Search module of Liferay Portal.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"digital_experience_platform","vendor":"liferay"},{"product":"dxp","vendor":"liferay"},{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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 Portal Search module in Liferay Portal 7.1.0 through 7.4.2, and Liferay DXP 7.1 before fix pack 27, 7.2 before fix pack 15, and 7.3 before service pack 3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the `tag` parameter.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2022/CVE-2022-42118.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Liferay Portal -
