  3. Press enter and capture this request [burp_suite]
  4. send to intruder
    5.Add [+11.....] before the @

    Encoded : example%40gmail.com >>>> example%2B1111%40gmail.com
    7.Add null payloads [100+]
  5. Start attack

Hello security team : )

Any update here ?

Thanks for your report.

It's true that Bugzilla is missing rate limiting on these emails. I'm rating this as sec-low as the impact is minimal, and we have generic request rate limiting in place that should catch significant abusers.

Right now this bug hasn't been scheduled to be worked on; you'll see activity on the bug when that happens.
Given the low severity I wouldn't expect this issue to be resolved soon.

We can add code to send pings to iprepd when these events occur (instead of just errors) to mitigate this type of activities.
