Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 7 Feb 2024, 15:30 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom` (Maven): affected `>=7.2.0, <7.3.7`; fixed in `7.3.7`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Liferay Portal versions 7.2.0 through 7.3.6 are affected, as are older unsupported versions and Liferay DXP releases before 7.3 service pack 3 and 7.2 fix pack 13. The Document and Media widget does not limit resource use when generating preview images. A remote attacker with a user account can upload crafted PNG images to exhaust memory and cause a denial of service. Upgrade the release.portal.bom package to version 7.3.7 or later.

## 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-87m3-6qj3-p3xh>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
