Description

This module exploits an authentication bypass issue which allows arbitrary
password change requests to be issued for any user in the local store.
Instances of Secure ACS running version 5.1 with patches 3, 4, or 5 as well
as version 5.2 with either no patches or patches 1 and 2 are vulnerable.
