Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Overly Restrictive Account Lockout Mechanism via the resetPassword operation, which fails to reset the account lockout state upon a successful password reset. An attacker who triggers repeated failed login attempts to lock an account can keep that account locked even after the legitimate user resets their password, causing a crash of the authentication flow for that user.
