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.
