Summary
Traccar through 6.16.0 does not bind password reset tokens to a purpose in TokenManager, so a reset token is accepted as a session credential (CWE-640). An attacker who holds a leaked reset link can obtain a full session, and that access lasts seven days even after the victim resets the password.

Description from the CNA
Traccar through 6.16.0 contains a weak password recovery vulnerability that allows attackers to reuse password reset tokens as session credentials because TokenManager does not bind tokens to a purpose. Attackers holding a leaked reset link can obtain a full session via /api/session or change passwords via /api/password/update, retaining access for seven days even after the victim resets their password.
