Liferay DXP 2023.Q4.0, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.4, 7.4 GA through update 92 and 7.3 GA through update 35 allows a time-based one-time password (TOTP) to be used multiple times during the validity period, which allows attackers with access to a user’s TOTP to authenticate as the user.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity low, availability none.
