## Affected packages

- `com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom` (Maven): affected `>=7.4.0-ga1, <7.4.3.100`; fixed in `7.4.3.100`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Liferay Portal from 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.99 is vulnerable to denial of service. Its Headless API does not limit the number of objects returned, so a remote attacker can send a request that returns a very large number of objects and disrupt the application. Upgrade the release.portal.bom Maven package to 7.4.3.100 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-vgqx-447m-wvcj>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
