Stored XSS via unescaped account names
Published Oct 10, 2025 · Updated Oct 10, 2025
Stored XSS in affected Liferay Portal 7.4 and DXP 7.4/2023.Q3/Q4 releases allows remote authenticated users to execute script. The account administration JSP renders accountEntryDisplay.getName() in the Membership table without HTML escaping, so a saved Name value becomes page markup. A logged-in attacker must save the payload and another user must view the Membership page; script runs in that viewer's browser and can read or alter data available to that session.
