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. Steps to Reproduce: 1.
