What is CVE-2023-43650?

JumpServer is an open source bastion host that experiences a significant vulnerability due to weak verification code handling in its password reset feature. The lack of rate limiting allows attackers to make an excessive number of attempts on the 6-digit verification code sent to users, enabling potentially up to 1,000,000 validation attempts within a single minute. This flaw has been resolved in versions 2.28.20 and 3.7.1, and users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized password resets. There are currently no workarounds available to address this issue.

Affected Version(s)

jumpserver >= 2.0.0, < 2.28.20 < 2.0.0, 2.28.20
