password recovery may change anyone's password
----------------------------------------------
Key: GTNPORTAL-880
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-880
Project: GateIn Portal
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
Affects Versions: 3.0.0-GA
Reporter: Patrice Lamarque
It looks like anyone can change anyone else's password by using the forgot username function.
A first annoyance is that you can easily lock the default root account like this :
Sign in > Forgot Username / Password > Forgot My Password
Enter 'root'
Now try to login with root / gtn >> you can't.
What Happened ?
Gatein has generated a new password for root and sent it to the default email address which is.... root@localhost (!).
Using this function anyone would be able to change anyone else password.
The flow for password recovery should not regenerate a new password until the user has confirmed by clicking a generated URI in the email.
