Issue
- As Liferay DXP does not hide password reminder answers, attackers can capture user's password reminder answers through man-in-the-middle or shoulder surfing attacks.
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.0
- Liferay DXP 7.1
- Liferay DXP 7.2
- Liferay DXP 7.3
Resolution
- The portal's observed behavior is a well-known concern that can be tracked here: LPS-107063
- Liferay 7.3 fix pack 1 and Liferay 7.2 fix pack 17 have already addressed this concern.
