What is CVE-2013-4471?

The Identity v3 API in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) prior to version 2013.2 allows authenticated users to change passwords without providing their current password. This deficiency can be exploited by remote attackers who have acquired the authentication token of a user, thereby enabling unauthorized password alterations and posing a significant risk to user account security.
