An issue was discovered in /admin/users/update in M/Monit before 3.7.3. It allows unprivileged users to escalate their privileges to an administrator by requesting a password change and specifying the admin parameter.
The product contains a mechanism for users to recover or change their passwords without knowing the original password, but the mechanism is weak.
