NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream horizon package and not the horizon package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Identity v3 API in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2013.2 does not require the current password when changing passwords for user accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to change a user password by leveraging the authentication token for that user.
