ARTICLE ADVulnerability Type: Race Condition in Password Reset ProcessImpact: This vulnerability allows an attacker to reset the password of a victim’s account by exploiting a race condition in the password reset process. The attacker must know the victim’s email address.Exploit Method:The attacker sends multiple password reset requests for a victim’s email address, trying to trigger multiple reset codes that can be reused to gain access to the account before the system processes them properly.The race condition can be triggered by sending duplicate requests or by using tools like Burp Suite to send requests in parallel, allowing the attacker to reuse the reset code before it expires or the server blocks multiple attempts.Steps to Exploit:Know the Target Email: The attacker must know the victim’s email address.Initiate Password Reset: The attacker triggers the password reset process, which sends a reset code to the victim’s email.Send Duplicate Requests: Using Burp Suite or similar tools, the attacker sends multiple reset requests simultaneously.Access the Account: By exploiting the race condition, the attacker can bypass restrictions (such as expiration of reset codes or limits on multiple attempts) and reset the victim’s password to gain access to their account.Impact: This could lead to account takeover, unauthorized access to personal data, and privacy breaches.
