Improper input validation in OpenText Self Service Password Reset before 4.8 patch 3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass authentication. OpenText has not published the affected input, processing locus, or validation operation that fails. Exploitation requires low-privilege access, specific deployment conditions, and active user interaction; successful bypass exposes or changes protected password-reset data and can interrupt service.
