CVE-2006-5474
The "forgot password" function in OneOrZero Helpdesk before 1.6.5.4 generates insecure passwords by concatenating the current timestamp with the username, which allows remote attackers to gain access as an arbitrary user by requesting a password reset.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.85%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
