Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NGINX Controller versions 3.0.0 through 3.4.0
Description The issue allows an attacker who can intercept the database connection or have read access to the database to request a password reset using the email address of another registered user and then retrieve the recovery code, as the recovery code required to change a user's password is transmitted and stored in the database in plain text.
Recommendations For NGINX Controller versions 3.0.0 through 3.4.0, consider restricting access to the database to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
