Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Liferay Portal
Liferay Portal is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to validate and sanitize user input before displaying it on web pages. Additionally, implementing a Content Security Policy (CSP) can also help prevent XSS attacks.
