Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Backpack CRUD (backpack/crud) versions from 6.0.0 before 6.8.14 and from 7.0.0 before 7.0.38 are vulnerable. An authenticated user can change the login email address through MyAccountController without entering their current password, which lets an attacker who has briefly gained a session take over the account by requesting a password reset to the new address. Upgrade to 6.8.14 or 7.0.38. The source lists no other workaround.
