Affected packages

• Maven com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom: >= 7.3.4, < 7.3.6 → fixed in 7.3.6 • Maven com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.bom: < 7.3.10.fp1 → fixed in 7.3.10.fp1

Description

The SimpleCaptcha implementation in Liferay Portal 7.3.4, 7.3.5 and Liferay DXP 7.3 before fix pack 1 does not invalidate CAPTCHA answers after it is used, which allows remote attackers to repeatedly perform actions protected by a CAPTCHA challenge by reusing the same CAPTCHA answer.
