Machine-written summary

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

Liferay Portal 7.2.0 through 7.4.3.18 and Liferay DXP 7.2 before fix pack 19, 7.3 before update 4, and 7.4 before update 19 are affected. A remote attacker can bypass the HtmlUtil.escapeRedirect filter using the Unicode replacement character, redirecting users to arbitrary external URLs through parameters such as redirect. Upgrade Liferay Portal to 7.4.3.19-ga19 or Liferay DXP to 7.2.10.fp19, 7.3.10.u4, or 7.4.13.u19.
