PHPNuxBill through 2025.3.20 Account Takeover via Brute-Forceable Password Reset Code
Description
PHPNuxBill through 2025.3.20 contains an account takeover vulnerability in the customer password reset flow in system/controllers/forgot.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to brute-force the 6-digit otp_code.
