CVE-2023-51332

A lack of rate limiting in the Forgot Password feature of PHPJabbers Meeting Room Booking System v1.0 allows attackers to send an excessive amount of email for a legitimate user, leading to a possible Denial of Service (DoS) via a large amount of generated e-mail messages.

Weakness

The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use.

Potential Mitigations

• Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
• For example, languages such as Java, Ruby, and Lisp perform automatic garbage collection that releases memory for objects that have been deallocated.
