Service interruption via unthrottled password resets
Published Feb 20, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Missing rate limiting in PHPJabbers Shared Asset Booking System 1.0 allows remote attackers to trigger excessive password-reset email. The Forgot Password handler accepts repeated unauthenticated requests for a legitimate user's address and generates a new email for each request without throttling. Knowledge of a registered address is sufficient, and sustained requests can flood the recipient's mailbox and interrupt service through excessive mail generation.
