Machine-written summary

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

Liferay Portal release.portal.bom versions 7.4.0-ga1 through 7.4.3.99 and com.liferay.portal.impl versions before 92.0.2 store password reset tokens in plain text. An attacker with access to the database can read a token, reset a user's password, and take over that account. Upgrade release.portal.bom to 7.4.3.100 or com.liferay.portal.impl to 92.0.2.
