IDs: CVE-2022-26595, GHSA-822f-jfpg-hg7h
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-26595 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:39 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.

Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom 7.4.2-ga3; com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom 7.3.10.fp2, 7.2.10.fp13; com.liferay.portal:com.liferay.portal.impl 7.7.9; com.liferay:com.liferay.site.browser.web 6.0.5. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom: affected >= 7.3.7, <= 7.3.7; >= 7.4.0, < 7.4.2-ga3; fixed in 7.4.2-ga3
- Maven com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom: affected >= 7.2.0, < 7.2.10.fp13; >= 7.3.0, < 7.3.10.fp2; fixed in 7.2.10.fp13, 7.3.10.fp2
- Maven com.liferay.portal:com.liferay.portal.impl: affected < 7.7.9; fixed in 7.7.9
- Maven com.liferay:com.liferay.site.browser.web: affected < 6.0.5; fixed in 6.0.5

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven com.liferay.portal:com.liferay.portal.impl: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven com.liferay:com.liferay.site.browser.web: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom, com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom, com.liferay.portal:com.liferay.portal.impl, com.liferay:com.liferay.site.browser.web.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
