Technical details
The vulnerability exists in users.passrecover.php where password recovery validation tokens are derived from md5(microtime()), creating only ~1 million possible values per second. An unauthenticated attacker can observe the server Date header to narrow the time window, precompute candidate tokens, and brute-force the passrecover endpoint to reset arbitrary account passwords. No authentication or user interaction is required.
