🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The ChangeAdminTOTP endpoint allowed any user with manage_admins permissions to reset the TOTP secret of the main configuration-driven admin account (GUIAdmin).
🎯 Impact: This authorization bypass could lead to a localized denial of service (lockout) or potential privilege escalation/account takeover of the primary system administrator account.
πŸ”§ Fix: Added an explicit identity check in internal/api/admin_handlers.go to return a 403 Forbidden response if a user attempts to modify the GUIAdmin's TOTP secret via this endpoint, matching the protections already in place on other admin modification endpoints.
βœ… Verification: Tested the API unit tests internally. Attempting to reset GUIAdmin TOTP will now return HTTP 403.
