Technical details and impact analysis

Violation of Secure Design Principles
I found a security issue on your "Reset password" page Google botnets are indexing some of your sensitive pages with tokens of accounts. For this you may like to add: <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> (For pages like "resetting your password" need to have this.) Vulnerable url: https://vimeo.com/forgot_password/7173461/x5vozxp0d6aqh5ja Real Proof: https://www.google.cl/search?q=site:vimeo.com+inurl:forgot_password/&num=100&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=Ehs&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&filter=0&biw=1280&bih=672 (Please note that this pages are index by Google already ) This is not a super serious bug I agree. but still if user don't change the password this link will be active for some longer time it can be access by Google. PS: it also a good Idea to add /forgot_password/* to http://vimeo.com/robots.txt Any problems reproducing this bug please let me know.
