|
Web applications frequently provide their users the ability to retrieve a forgotten password. Unfortunately, most web applications fail to implement the mechanism properly. The information required to verify the integrity of the user is often overly simplistic.
|
|
<p><b>General Goal(s):</b> </p>
|
|
Users can retrieve their password if they can answer the secret question properly. There is no lock-out mechanism on this 'Forgot Password' page. Your username is 'webgoat' and your favorite color is 'red'. The goal is to retrieve the password of another user.
