An authenticated attacker may perform password setting attacks via XSRF without knowing the current password. An attacker that stole a Session ID (cookie) is able to gain persistent access by changing the password. Fix proposal: A password change should require the old password to be provided. Vendor fix: When a user is changing their password, they are now required to enter their current password.
