Machine-written summary

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

Pheditor versions before 2.0.8 are affected. On instances where the default password has not been changed, the forced password-change flow does not check the submitted password against the current one, so an unauthenticated remote attacker can set a new admin password and obtain an authenticated session. Upgrade to Pheditor 2.0.8. The source lists no other workaround.
