Technical details

The vulnerability exists in password-reset link generation, where the application constructs reset URLs using the HTTP Host header directly without validation. An unauthenticated attacker can request a password reset for a known administrator email address while supplying a forged Host header, causing the reset token to be sent to an attacker-controlled domain. This allows token interception and subsequent account takeover.
