The Identity v3 API in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2013.2 does not require the current password when changing passwords for user accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to change a user password by leveraging the authentication token for that user.

Weakness

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