Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity due to improper handling of case sensitivity in the userPutHandler function. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to user accounts and modify passwords without verification by submitting API requests with field names in a different case, such as "Password" instead of "password", thereby bypassing the current password check.

Note: This is only exploitable if an attacker has obtained a valid JWT token for the target account.
