The record
The `PUT /user` endpoint is protected by `RequireScopes("profile:read")`, which is a read-only scope. However, the endpoint performs write operations including password changes. An attacker who obtains an admin's restricted `profile:read` access token can change the admin's password, then login to receive an unrestricted session token that bypasses all scope enforcement.
