Description

Missing change password feature within the application.

An attacker that obtains access to a compromised user account can perform malicious actions upon victims accounts when the application does not offer a feature of changing the password when needed.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a change password endpoint in the existing authentication system. Use ASP.NET Core Identity's UserManager to validate the current password and set the new password. Ensure proper validation (e.g., current password required, new password strength). Add tests and handle token invalidation if needed.
