Technical details
HCL Aftermarket EPC version 1.0.0 is vulnerable to improper control of interaction frequency (CWE-799) within its password recovery component. The application fails to implement a mail limitation mechanism, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to programmatically trigger an unlimited number of 'Forgot Password' emails. This can be exploited to perform email flooding attacks, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) of the mail server or the application's notification logic. The vulnerability is accessible over the network without user interaction.
