## Impact
The impact is minimal but effective, assuming an attacker got in and changed the password and the owner realized that and tried to change the password of its account ( he have 1 option to change it via the admin console since he don't have access to its account via the dashboard ) . The admin will change the password of the account but the attacker will still have access to the administrator account as an administrator since its session didn't got invalidated.
