How widely exploitable is this vulnerability?

Any authenticated non-admin user who can reach the affected account-management functions can exploit this issue. The impact is broad in multi-user deployments, since no special privileges beyond basic authentication are required.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker only needs a standard user account. Once logged in, they can invoke the vulnerable operations to reset other users' passwords or delete accounts.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Correct the authorization logic so that only verified admin users can call `setCustomPassword` and `deleteUser`, preferably by using a centralized authorization mechanism that enforces role requirements declaratively for each sensitive operation.
