CVE-2023-51316

What is CVE-2023-51316?

The PHPJabbers Bus Reservation System v1.1 lacks adequate rate limiting in its 'Forgot Password' feature, which allows malicious actors to exploit this flaw by sending numerous password reset emails on behalf of a legitimate user. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition as the system may become overwhelmed with email requests, potentially disrupting service availability to users. It's crucial for administrators to evaluate and mitigate such issues to enhance system security.
