Description

During the password reset process, the application will require user input of their preset security question. However, the application does not validate the answers provided which allows any users to bypass this security mechanism with invalid answer for security question.

Given solution :

The application should validate the answer provided for security question in password reset function. If too many invalid answer attempts were made, consider locking the account to prevent brute force attack.
