## Affected packages

- `com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom` (Maven): affected `>=7.2.0, <7.4.3.13-ga13`; fixed in `7.4.3.13-ga13`
- `com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom` (Maven): affected `>=7.2.10.fp15, <=7.2.10.fp18 || >=7.4.0, <7.4.13.u9`; fixed in `7.4.13.u9`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Liferay Portal 7.2.0 through 7.4.3.12 and Liferay DXP 7.2 fix pack 15 through 18 and 7.4 before update 9 are affected, along with older unsupported versions. Because the HtmlUtil.escapeRedirect check can be bypassed using two forward slashes, a remote attacker can redirect users to arbitrary external URLs through the redirect and FORWARD_URL parameters and other parameters that rely on this function. Upgrade release.portal.bom to 7.4.3.13-ga13 or release.dxp.bom to 7.4.13.u9. The source gives few details on any workaround.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-3qq5-wcrx-4h8r>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
