Description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges by changing another user's password without providing the old password.
The vulnerability exists due to improper authentication in password change functionality when handling password update requests. A remote user can submit a specially crafted request to change a password without providing the old password, leading to unauthorized account modification.
Authentication is required to access the password change interface, but no old password verification is performed.
