Description:
d3m0n has reported a vulnerability in Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and manipulate data.
The vulnerability is caused due to improper access restriction in components/com_user/models/reset.php. This can be exploited to bypass the authentication mechanism and change the password of the user with the lowest ID (typically the administrator), without having valid user credentials.
