CVE-2025-43814Network attack vector

Password reminder disclosure via audit-event attribute logging

Published Sep 22, 2025 · Updated Sep 23, 2025

Sensitive-data exposure in affected Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP releases allows remote authenticated users to read password reminder answers. UserModelListener retained the old and new reminderQueryAnswer values when building user-change audit attributes instead of emitting a value-less attribute. Access requires high privileges to view audit events; the disclosure affects account-recovery secrecy, with no reported integrity or availability impact.
