The pa_modify_accounts function in auth.dll in unifid.exe in NetIQ Privileged User Manager 2.3.x before 2.3.1 HF2 does not require authentication for the modifyAccounts method, which allows remote attackers to change the passwords of administrative accounts via a crafted application/x-amf request.

Weakness

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