This makes it possible for attackers with with existing account access at any level, to change user passwords and potentially take over administrator accounts.

CISA has added CVE-2023-3105 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
