Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in FelixRiddle dev-jobs-handlebars 1.0, where password-reset links are generated using the untrusted 'req.headers.host' header and are forced to use the 'http://' scheme. An attacker who can manipulate the 'Host' header or exploit a misconfigured proxy/load-balancer that forwards this header without validation can cause the password-reset links to point to attacker-controlled domains or be sent over insecure HTTP. This can lead to token theft, phishing attacks, and account takeover.
