POST /api/users/:id allows any authenticated user to change any other user's password without RequireSecureSession (2FA verification). In contrast, the self password change endpoint POST /api/user/password correctly requires RequireSecureSession. This inconsistency enables any authenticated user to take over the initial admin account (user ID 1) by simply changing its password.
