MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 1.22%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The password reset link remains valid within its expiration period even after it has been used. This could potentially lead to the link being misused or hijacked.
