# CVE-2023-51294

Descriptions:
A serious security vulnerability exists when there is no rate limit
implemented on the "Forgot Password" functionality of a system. This
oversight enables malicious actors to exploit the system by launching
password reset requests in rapid succession, known as "password
bombing" or "password reset bombing." Without rate limiting, attackers
can flood the system with a large number of password reset attempts,
potentially causing service disruptions, overwhelming email servers,
and facilitating unauthorized access to user accounts. Implementing
proper rate limiting mechanisms is crucial to mitigate the risk of
such attacks and enhance the overall security posture of the system.

# CVE-2023-51293

Descriptions:
PHPJabbers Event Booking Calendar v4.0 is vulnerable to Rate limiting.
Rate limiting is implemented in web applications and APIs to prevent

lead to resource exhaustion. When a rate limit is bypassed or not
properly enforced, it opens the door for attackers to carry out
malicious activities more quickly than intended, potentially leading
to unauthorized access, data breaches, or service disruption.
