CWE
  • CWE-307 - Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts
  • CWE-204 - Observable Response Discrepancy
Summary
Rocket.Chat exposes the sendForgotPasswordEmail Meteor method without a DDP rate limit, so an unauthenticated caller may invoke it as often as it likes. The method is reachable over DDP and over the HTTP route POST /api/v1/method.callAnon/sendForgotPasswordEmail, and it triggers a password reset message for any address that matches an account. With no DDPRateLimiter rule registered for it, a caller can drive an unbounded volume of reset mail at a chosen address from the deployment's own mail sender, and can probe addresses at scale: the method answers true for an address with no account and for a successful send, but false when the address belongs to an account that authenticates through an external provider and Accounts_AllowPasswordChangeForOAuthUsers is off, so repeated calls distinguish that class of account. Later versions register a rule permitting ten calls per minute per client address.

The method is reachable over DDP and over the HTTP route POST /api/v1/method.callAnon/sendForgotPasswordEmail, and it triggers a password reset message for any address that matches an account. With no DDPRateLimiter rule registered for it, a caller can drive an unbounded volume of reset mail at a chosen address from the deployment\u0027s own mail sender, and can probe addresses at scale: the method answers true for an address with no account and for a successful send, but false when the address belongs to an account that authenticates through an external provider and Accounts_AllowPasswordChangeForOAuthUsers is off, so repeated calls distinguish that class of account. Later versions register a rule permitting ten calls per minute per client address.\"}], \"problemTypes\": [{\"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"CWE\", \"cweId\": \"CWE-307\", \"description\": \"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts\"}]}, {\"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"CWE\", \"cweId\": \"CWE-204\", \"description\": \"Observable Response Discrepancy\"}]}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.10.15\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"8.1.8\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"8.0.0\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"8.2.8\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"8.2.0\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"8.3.8\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"8.3.0\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"8.4.6\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"8.4.0\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"8.5.3\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"8.5.0\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"8.6.2\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"8.6.0\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"8.7.2\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"8.7.0\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:a:rocket.chat:rocket.chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"8.8.0\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"8.8.0-rc.0\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"83251b91-4cc7-4094-a5c7-464a1b83ea10\", \"shortName\": \"VulnCheck\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-29T11:47:47.758Z\"}}}",
