CVE-2014-1644
The forgotten-password feature in forcepasswd.do in the management GUI in Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA) 2.x before 2.3.2.110 allows remote attackers to reset arbitrary passwords by providing the e-mail address associated with a user account.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.64%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
