Machine-written summary

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

The com.liferay.portal.search.web package (Maven, Liferay Portal) is affected in versions 6.0.125 up to 6.0.143, and the source describes it as a reflected cross-site scripting flaw in the search bar portlet's handling of URLs. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary web script or HTML, which would run in a user's browser if that user follows a crafted link. Upgrade to version 6.0.143, which is the listed fixed version.
