## What is CVE-2024-3760?

CVE-2024-3760 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in Lunary Lunary, published on 14 Nov 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In lunary-ai/lunary version 1.2.7, there is a lack of rate limiting on the forgot password page, leading to an email bombing vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this by automating forgot password requests to flood targeted user accounts with a high volume of password reset emails. This not only overwhelms the victim's mailbox, making it difficult to manage and locate legitimate emails, but also significantly impacts mail servers by consuming their resources. The increased load can cause performance degradation and, in severe cases, make the mail servers unresponsive or unavailable, disrupting email services for the entire organization.

Weakness: CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling)
