Technical details

App passwords are subsidiary credentials intended for programmatic access that should be restricted from sensitive account operations. The vulnerability allows these lower-privilege credentials to bypass password confirmation checks that normally protect operations like account modifications or security setting changes. Exploitation requires possession of a valid app password and network access to the affected endpoints.
