Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.99, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92, 7.3 GA through update 34, and older unsupported versions stores password reset tokens in plain text, which allows attackers with access to the database to obtain the token, reset a users password and take over the users account.
Weakness Type
Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information
The application stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere. Because the information is stored in cleartext, attackers could potentially read it. Even if the information is encoded in a way that is not human-readable, certain techniques could determine which encoding is being used, then decode the information.
