`# Exploit Title: PHPJabbers Event Booking Calendar v4.0 - No Rate  
Limit on Forgot Password  
# Date: 19/12/2023  
# Exploit Author: BugsBD Limited  
# Discover by: Rahad Chowdhury  
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.phpjabbers.com/  
# Software Link: https://www.phpjabbers.com/event-booking-calendar/#sectionDemo  
# Version: v4.0  
# Tested on: Windows 10, Windows 11, Linux  
# CVE-2023-51294  
  
Descriptions:  
A serious security vulnerability exists when there is no rate limit  
implemented on the "Forgot Password" functionality of a system. 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. Visit this URL  
https://demo.phpjabbers.com/1700468974_388/index.php?controller=pjBase&action=pjActionForgot  
2. Now use the account mail that is already registered on this website.  
3. Capture request data using burp suite and send it to Intruder Tab  
4. Configure Intruder and Start Attack  
5. Check your email.

# CVE-2023-51293  
  
Descriptions:  
PHPJabbers Event Booking Calendar v4.0 is vulnerable to Rate limiting.  
Rate limiting is implemented in web applications and APIs to prevent  
abuse, such as brute-force attacks or excessive requests that could  
lead to resource exhaustion. When a rate limit is bypassed or not  
properly enforced, it opens the door for attackers to carry out  
malicious activities more quickly than intended, potentially leading  
to unauthorized access, data breaches, or service disruption.  
  
Steps to Reproduce:  
  
1. Login to your dashboard.  
2. Goto System Options Menu then open the Email Settings section.  
3. Now use any email and name in the Email address and Name field.  
4. Check your email.
