Machine-written summary

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

Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP are affected by a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the Components portlet, which the advisory says exists in Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.131 and several Liferay DXP releases. The affected package is com.liferay.plugins.admin.web, with versions below 5.0.36. A remote attacker can store script in the components tab that runs in other users' browsers. The fix is in version 5.0.36, so upgrade to that version.
