What is CVE-2023-31287?
CVE-2023-31287 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 27 Apr 2023. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An issue was discovered in Serenity Serene (and StartSharp) before 6.7.0. Password reset links are sent by email. A link contains a token that is used to reset the password. This token remains valid even after the password reset and can be used a second time to change the password of the corresponding user. The token expires only 3 hours after issuance and is sent as a query parameter when resetting. An attacker with access to the browser history can thus use the token again to change the password in order to take over the account.
Weakness: CWE-640
