Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-4361:
----------------------------------------
OK got, it
It's about UserLoginSecurityQuestion not Password Hint. BTW I wonder if
Password Hint is not confusing and should not be removed? Also I tried to
create an UserLoginSecurityQuestion using both Entity Maint and
createUserLoginSecurityQuestion service none worked, issue is
bq. INSERT on table 'USER_LOGIN_SECURITY_QUESTION' caused a violation of
foreign key constraint 'SECQ_ENUM' for key (test).
But I see no Enumeration with questionEnumId. Anyway it's need a new screen or
maybe rather enhance the screens (backend and frontend) where an user is
created and make it mandatory?

> Currently, any user (via ecommerce "Forget Your Password") has the ability to
> reset another users password, including "admin" without permission. By
> simply entering "admin" and clicking "Email Password", the following is
> displayed.
> The following occurred:
> A new password has been created and sent to you. Please check your Email.
> This now forces the user of the ERP to change their password. It is also
> possible to generate a dictionary attack against ofbiz because there is no
> capta code required. This is serious security risk.
> This feature could be reduced to a certain sub-set of users, whose login name
> is optionally in the format of an email address, and maybe require a capta
> code to prevent dictionary attacks.
> For example, limit the feature to role "Customer" of type "Person" which was
> generated via an ecommerce transaction.
