4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to version 3.23.25, a business logic vulnerability exists in Budibase’s password reset functionality due to the absence of rate limiting, CAPTCHA, or abuse prevention mechanisms on the “Forgot Password” endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly trigger password reset requests for the same email address, resulting in hundreds of password reset emails being sent in a short time window. This enables large-scale email flooding, user harassment, denial of service (DoS) against user inboxes, and potential financial and reputational impact for Budibase. This issue has been patched in version 3.23.25.
AnalysisAI
Email flooding denial of service in Budibase prior to version 3.23.25 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to overwhelm user inboxes by repeatedly triggering password reset requests without rate limiting, CAPTCHA, or abuse prevention controls. An attacker can send hundreds of password reset emails to a target address in a short time window, causing user harassment, inbox denial of service, and potential reputational damage. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS score of 5.3 reflects the limited direct technical impact-this is not remote code execution or data compromise-but the real-world risk is significant for affected deployments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker obtains the email address of a Budibase user (either a target individual or mass-enumerates addresses) and uses a simple script to send repeated requests to the unauthenticated 'Forgot Password' endpoint with that email. Within seconds, the target user's inbox receives dozens or hundreds of password reset emails, creating spam, potential phishing confusion (if mixed with legitimate reset messages), and user disruption. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Budibase to version 3.23.25 or later immediately. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
