Issue

  • The version of bootstrap-select 1.12.4 is vulnerable to attacks.
  • To overcome this, bootstrap-select should be upgraded to a non-vulnerable version.


Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.3 

Resolution

  • Liferay does not utilize the 'bootstrap-select' library anywhere. This library does not come bundled with Liferay by default, and also it is not provided via settings or in the built-in module.
  • If any customer is using the 'bootstrap-select' library in their project, it might be due to Customizations, and they can easily upgrade it to a non-vulnerable version that might be version 1.13.6 or later as mentioned in the unofficial, link https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9r7h-6639-v5mw.
  • Moreover, if the customer wants to use any libraries instead of bootstrap-select, they can use them as per their business requirements but in such cases too, there will be involvement of Third-Party technologies again, wherein Liferay product support will be limited in assisting.
  • Customers need to get in touch with their development team and check which libraries fit best in their project as per their business requirements.
