CVE-2023-50455
Due to lack of rate limiting in the "email address verification" feature, an attacker could send many requests for a known address to cause Denial Of Service (generation of many emails, which would also spam the victim).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.70%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
