MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 1.15%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.15%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

User sends multiple password reset emails, each containing a valid link. Within the link's validity period, this could potentially lead to the link being misused or hijacked.
