CVE-2023-33949 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.
