Technical details
The vulnerability is a broken access control flaw in the UserController::save() method that validates the submitted role_id value but fails to check the current role of the target user account. An authenticated Administrator can send a POST request to update the Super Administrator account (id=1) with a new role_id and password, resulting in an unrestricted SQL UPDATE that downgrades and compromises the highest-privilege account. No authentication bypass is required; the attacker must already hold Administrator privileges.
