- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: ProjectSend ProjectSend 2.7.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to ProjectSend ProjectSend 2.7.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
ProjectSend 2.0.0 before 2.7.0 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows restricted API token holders to change the token owner's credentials via PATCH /api/v1/users/{user}. Attackers with a token limited to manage_users and edit_users can set a new owner password, clear two-factor authentication, and sign in interactively with the owner's full role permissions.
