Executive Summary

The vulnerability exists in Wallos, an open-source personal subscription tracker, where password reset tokens never expire prior to version 4.7.2. Although the password_resets table records when tokens are created, the system does not check this timestamp during token validation. As a result, a password reset token remains valid indefinitely until it is used.

This means that if an attacker intercepts a password reset link at any time, they can use that link to reset the password even days, weeks, or months later.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker who obtains a password reset link to gain unauthorized access to a user's account at any time in the future, since the reset tokens do not expire.

Such unauthorized access can lead to compromise of personal data, unauthorized changes to account settings, and potential misuse of the subscription tracking service.

Mitigation Strategies

The vulnerability in Wallos versions prior to 4.7.2 allows password reset tokens to never expire, which means an attacker could reuse intercepted reset links indefinitely.

To mitigate this vulnerability immediately, you should upgrade Wallos to version 4.7.2 or later, where the issue has been patched.
