CVE-2024-24769Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Mailbox flooding via unlimited MFA reset emails

Published Jun 17, 2026 · Updated Jun 17, 2026

Uncontrolled resource consumption in vantage6 before 5.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to flood mailboxes through MFA resets. The MFA-reset API accepts repeated requests with a correct password and sends an email for each request without rate limiting. A valid user password and configured SMTP service are required; repeated requests burden the mail server and can damage its sender reputation.
