Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Liferay Portal's Kaleo Forms Admin component (com.liferay.portal.workflow.kaleo.forms.web, versions before 5.0.29) does not restrict how many request parameters are saved in the portlet session. A remote attacker can send crafted HTTP requests to consume system memory and cause a denial of service. Upgrade to version 5.0.29 or later.
