The account_save action in admin/userinfo.php in wPortfolio 0.3 and earlier does not require authentication and does not require knowledge of the original password, which allows remote attackers to change the admin account password via modified password and password_retype parameters.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
