“Forgot to authenticate user in password reset process”

Forgot to authenticate user in password reset process, almost let hacker get away with credentials

What I wish I knew
"To always follow SOPs and verify user identity"
If I could tell you one thing
"Double-check user identity before performing sensitive actions"
