Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP are vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting on the Manage Vocabulary page, via the Asset Categories Admin Web module before 5.0.87 and Liferay DXP 7.4 before update 88. A remote attacker who can write a crafted payload into a vocabulary's description field can inject arbitrary script or HTML. Upgrade the com.liferay.asset.categories.admin.web module to 5.0.87 or later, or Liferay DXP to 7.4.13.u88 or later.
