Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization due to insufficient access control mechanisms. An attacker can gain unauthorized access and perform actions as a legitimate user by exploiting the password reset feature, even if their access should be restricted.
Note: This is only exploitable if the password reset feature is enabled
Workaround
The following workarounds are available:
Keep the password reset feature disabled.
Set a blank email address for users and admins with access restrictions so they cannot receive the email with the reset code and exploit the vulnerability.
