An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-33949 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.3.1\n- com.liferay.portal:release.portal.bom (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.3.1\n- liferay (Bitnami): affected from 7.0.0 up to 7.0.0; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-33949/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-33949/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-33949","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-33949/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-33949","record":{"aliases":["BIT-liferay-2023-33949","GHSA-g9mr-9xfc-4gf7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Liferay Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can create accounts with fake emails due to default settings, requiring administrators to enable email verification.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Liferay","cpe":[{"product":"digital_experience_platform","vendor":"liferay"},{"product":"liferay_portal","vendor":"liferay"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1188","name":"Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default"}],"description":"In Liferay Portal 7.3.0 and earlier, and Liferay DXP 7.2 and earlier the default configuration does not require users to verify their email address, which allows remote attackers to create accounts using fake email addresses or email addresses which they don't control.
