You mean similar to replay attack? Nope.

CHAP provides protection against playback attack by the peer through
the use of an incrementally changing identifier and of a variable
challenge-value. CHAP requires that both the client and server know
the plaintext of the secret, although it is never sent over the
network. The MS-CHAP variant does not require either peer to know the
plaintext, but has other drawbacks.

More complete information should be available on the RFCs, but that
short summary is good enough for me :)
