Liferay Portal 'p_p_id' Parameter HTML Injection Vulnerability

Liferay Portal is prone to a HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user.
