CVE-2024-25607 Default password hashing algorithm do not provide sufficient protection

Description

The default password hashing algorithm (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1) in Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP defaults to a low work factor, which allows attackers to quickly crack password hashes.

Severity

8.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)

Affected Version(s)

Fixed Version(s)

Notes

Workaround:
Set the following in portal-ext.properties:
passwords.encryption.algorithm=PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1/160/720000
Warning: Existing deployments of DXP that want to switch to the higher work factor will need to migrate their password hashing algorithm
