Status: ModifiedMedium (5.4)—
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Gogo Shell module in Liferay Portal 7.1.0 through 7.3.6 and 7.4.0, and Liferay DXP 7.1 before fix pack 23, 7.2 before fix pack 13, and 7.3 before fix pack 2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the output of a Gogo Shell command.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Base score: 5.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.58%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 46
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
