No Rate Limiting on Password Reset Link - NRLP(email)
Hi team,
I found there is no rate limiting on the reset password link
Description:
Rate limiting is used to control the amount of incoming and outgoing traffic to or from a network. If the number of requests you make exceeds that limit, then an error will be triggered. The reasoning behind implementing rate limits is to allow for a better flow of data and to increase security by mitigating attacks such as DDoS.
Replication Steps:
Steps to perform this attack are:
- Click on forgot password
- Enter email and intercept that request.
- Send to an intruder and select ‘your email' parameter as an injection point!
- Paste your email in the payload list 100 times.
- Start attack and you will be receiving 100 emails
Kindly ask if you need more information or a video Poc
Impact:
This will lead to mass mailing to the targeted user, which will degrade the reputation of your company.
Thank You
