Technical details

A vulnerability exists in Nautobot's UserSerializer where the REST API fails to invoke Django's validate_password() method. While the administrative web interface correctly enforces AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS, the API endpoint bypasses these checks. An attacker with high-privileged access (sufficient to create or edit users) could set passwords that do not meet complexity requirements. This issue is rooted in the missing validation call within the UserSerializer.validate() logic. The vulnerability is addressed in versions 2.4.30 and 3.0.10 by explicitly adding the password validation check to the API workflow.
