Attackers can enumerate valid username and email pairs and force immediate password changes by sending PUT requests to the /api/index.php/user/password/update endpoint, causing account disruption and invalidating legitimate user credentials."

Los atacantes pueden enumerar pares válidos de nombre de usuario y correo electrónico y forzar cambios inmediatos de contraseña enviando solicitudes PUT al endpoint /api/index.php/user/password/update, lo que provoca la interrupción de la cuenta e invalida las credenciales de usuario legítimas."
