Vulnerability Data
In lunary-ai/lunary version 1.2.4, a vulnerability exists in the password recovery mechanism where the reset password token is not invalidated after use. This allows an attacker who compromises the recovery token to repeatedly change the password of a victim's account.…
more
The issue lies in the backend's handling of the reset password process, where the token, once used, is not discarded or invalidated, enabling its reuse. This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized account access if an attacker obtains the recovery token.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Identity proofing at appropriate assurance levels ensures forgotten-password recovery cannot succeed without strong verification of the user.
Authenticator management requires secure distribution, reset, and verification procedures that directly address weak password recovery flows.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Credential lifecycle management directly includes password reset/recovery flows.
Identity proofing is the core control that prevents weak or bypassed recovery mechanisms.
Authentication policy covers strength/MFA but does not address recovery path weaknesses.
Secure SDLC reduces implementation flaws but is not specific to password-recovery design.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Strong authentication-information lifecycle rules directly address weak password-recovery flows.
Secure-SDLC practices can embed strong recovery design, yet the control is broader than this single weakness.
Application-security requirements can mandate secure recovery flows, but the control covers many other requirements.
Secure-coding standards can prevent weak recovery implementations, yet the control is wider in scope.
Secure-authentication requirements include robust forgotten-password procedures.
Proper access-rights provisioning can limit who can trigger recovery, but does not fix the recovery mechanism itself.
