# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2023-3426

Advisory: Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP Organization Selector Does Not Check User Permissions
IDs: CVE-2023-3426, GHSA-xph3-vjcq-g488
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2023-3426 (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.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: com.liferay:com.liferay.organizations.item.selector.web 4.0.14. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven com.liferay:com.liferay.organizations.item.selector.web: affected < 4.0.14; fixed in 4.0.14
- Maven com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom: affected >= 7.4.143.u81, <= 7.4.143.u85

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven com.liferay:com.liferay.organizations.item.selector.web: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom: 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:com.liferay.organizations.item.selector.web, com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom.
- 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.
