Pentest discussion: Reviewing password reset token handling

AdminUser

Seeded test discussion. How would you validate reviewing password reset token handling in an authorized engagement?

Scenario: Request resets only for test accounts and check token lifetime, single use, and invalidation after password change. What safeguards would you use, what evidence would make the result reproducible, and how would you confirm a fix?

Testing approach: Request resets only for test accounts and check token lifetime, single use, and invalidation after password change. Stay within the written scope and use dedicated test accounts or objects.

Evidence: Record issuance and expiry times, token reuse result, and notification behavior without retaining the token. Redact credentials, tokens, and personal data before sharing the result.

Fix and retest: Use short-lived single-use tokens and invalidate previous reset links after use. Repeat the original check after deployment and record the outcome.
