Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.119 (and older unsupported versions) is affected by a password enumeration flaw, as are several Liferay DXP releases. A remote attacker can use a brute force attack to determine a user's password, even when account lockout is enabled. Upgrade the release.portal.bom Maven package to version 7.4.3.120 or later.
