Summary

WPGraphQL before 2.24.1 contains a missing rate limiting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to flood password reset emails by aliasing the sendPasswordResetEmail mutation. An attacker can send one HTTP request with many aliases, bypassing batch_limit, to exhaust mail provider quota and repeatedly rotate reset keys, blocking legitimate password recovery.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can exhaust mail quotas and block legitimate password recovery, causing denial of the password reset function and inbox flooding.

Recommendation

Upgrade WPGraphQL to 2.24.1 or later and implement rate limiting for the password reset mutation.
