How to fix?

Upgrade goauthentik.io to version 2022.12.3, 2023.1.3, 2023.2.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to an insufficient access check, a recovery flow link that is created by an admin (or sent via email by an admin) can be used to set the password for any arbitrary user.

Workaround

For custom recovery flows, it is recommended to add a policy that checks if the flow is restored, and skips the identification stage.
