In versions 0.5.6 through 0.7.2, when a `ClientPasswordReset` record already exists for a client (from a previous unexpired reset request), subsequent calls to the `reset_password` guest API endpoint reuse the existing token instead of generating a new one. The 15-minute validity window is anchored to the first request&#8217;s `created_at` timestamp, not the time of the most recent email. An attacker who obtained the original reset link remains able to use it even after the victim requests a new reset, because the original token is never invalidated or rotated. Version 0.8.0 patches the issue. Some workarounds are available. Configure a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx, Apache, Cloudflare) to apply per-IP rate limiting to the `\/client\/reset-password` endpoint to minimize the window of opportunity, and\/or manually clear expired `client_password_reset` records from the database after a client reports a suspected compromise.<\/p>\n<p>  Severity: 7.7 | HIGH<\/p>\n<p>  Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE ID :CVE-2026-53646 Published : July 6, 2026, 11:16 p.m. | 31\u00a0minutes ago Description :FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system.
