Pheditor versions prior to 2.0.8 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the forced password-change flow triggered when the stored password is still the default ('admin'). The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to set an arbitrary new admin password and gain an authenticated session without knowing the current password. This occurs because the submitted current password is not verified before allowing the password change. The issue is critical due to complete authentication bypass and full administrative access.
