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 dont control. The portal property company.security.strangers.verify should be set to true.
The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the product’s installer, administrator, or maintainer, but the default is not secure.
