The server generates a real cryptographic recovery token, appends it to the supplied URL, and emails the link to the victim; when the victim clicks the link, the token is sent to the attacker and can be used with POST /pimcore-studio/api/login/token to authenticate with full admin privileges while bypassing two-factor authentication.

Mitigation
Make sure that all input supplied by the user to the password recovery mechanism is thoroughly filtered and validated.
Mitigation
Do not use standard weak security questions and use several security questions.
Mitigation
Make sure that there is throttling on the number of incorrect answers to a security question. Disable the password recovery functionality after a certain (small) number of incorrect guesses.
Mitigation
Require that the user properly answers the security question prior to resetting their password and sending the new password to the e-mail address of record.
Mitigation
Never allow the user to control what e-mail address the new password will be sent to in the password recovery mechanism.
Mitigation
Assign a new temporary password rather than revealing the original password.
CAPEC-50: Password Recovery Exploitation
An attacker may take advantage of the application feature to help users recover their forgotten passwords in order to gain access into the system with the same privileges as the original user. Generally password recovery schemes tend to be weak and insecure.
