CVE-2023-25171
This makes it easier to attempt denial-of-service attacks against the Password reset page.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.92%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Kiwi TCMS, an open source test management system, does not impose rate limits in versions prior to 12.0. This makes it easier to attempt denial-of-service attacks against the Password reset page. An attacker could potentially send a large number of emails if they know the email addresses of users in Kiwi TCMS. Additionally that may strain SMTP resources. Users should upgrade to v12.0 or later to receive a patch. As potential workarounds, users may install and configure a rate-limiting proxy in front of Kiwi TCMS and/or configure rate limits on their email server when possible.
