Root Cause Analysis
The commit diff shows:
- Added 'action_auth_level :update_password_for_user, :administrator' to enforce admin privileges
- Modified 'skip_before_action :authenticate_for_action' to exclude this action from authentication bypass
In vulnerable version 3.0.0, the absence of these protections meant any authenticated user could access password reset functionality for other users. The CWE-287 and CWE-863 mappings confirm this is an authentication/authorization flaw in password management functions.
