Summary

Rocket.Chat exposes the sendForgotPasswordEmail Meteor method without a DDP rate limit, allowing unauthenticated callers to invoke it repeatedly. The method is reachable over DDP and HTTP POST /api/v1/method.callAnon/sendForgotPasswordEmail, triggering password reset emails for any address matching an account. With no DDPRateLimiter rule, attackers can send unbounded volumes of reset mail and probe addresses at scale.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes mail server overload, spam, and user account enumeration, potentially leading to phishing attacks.

Recommendation

Update Rocket.Chat to a version that enforces a rate limit of ten calls per minute per client address, and monitor network traffic.

Original NVD description (English source)

Rocket.Chat exposes the sendForgotPasswordEmail Meteor method without a DDP rate limit, so an unauthenticated caller may invoke it as often as it likes. The method is reachable over DDP and over the HTTP route POST /api/v1/method.callAnon/sendForgotPasswordEmail, and it triggers a password reset message for any address that matches an account. With no DDPRateLimiter rule registered for it, a caller can drive an unbounded volume of reset mail at a chosen address from the deployment's own mail sender, and can probe addresses at scale: the method answers true for an address with no account and for a successful send, but false when the address belongs to an account that authenticates through an external provider and Accounts_AllowPasswordChangeForOAuthUsers is off, so repeated calls distinguish that class of account. Later versions register a rule permitting ten calls per minute per client address.
