LangBot before 4.10.11 Authentication Bypass via Weak Recovery Key

Type: advisorySources: OSV

LangBot before 4.10.11 generates password recovery keys with only 24 bits of entropy and applies no rate limiting to the unauthenticated reset-password endpoint. Remote attackers knowing the administrator email can exhaust the keyspace through concurrent requests to reset the admin password and gain account access.
