    Reset passord links are not invalidated on password change

    Reset password links are not invalidated after a user changes its password.

    Impact

    This issue could allow an attacker to persist access to a compromised user account.
    CVSSv3 score: 3.8 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

    Exploitation

    1. A user got its account compromised, the attacker change the mail address and ask for a reset link
    2. The user recovers the account and changes the password. The user now thinks its account is safe.
    3. The attacker can use the reset link previously generated to change the password again and compromise the account again.
