Description: SmartAdmin through 3.30.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in AdminProtectController that allows authenticated low-privileged employees to modify system-wide level-3 protection settings. Attackers can call the unannotated updateConfig and loginFail batchDelete endpoints to disable login lockout and two-factor login, weaken password rules, and clear lockout records.
