Technical details
The Users::change_password() method in the Admin_Controller accepts a user_id parameter from the URL but only verifies the requester is an administrator (user_type == 1), failing to enforce object-level authorization. An authenticated admin can POST to users/change_password/{id} targeting any other admin account. This improper access control (CWE-639) was fixed in version 1.7.2 by restricting the endpoint to the requester's own account only.
