🟠 Admin can delete other admin accounts via new controller — legacy admin-on-admin protection does not apply
Severity: major Domain: User Management Labels: security, bug, backend, major, privilege-escalation
Description
The new controller (DELETE /api/user/admin/:userId) only blocks self-deletion. It does not prevent an admin from deleting other admin accounts. The legacy route (DELETE /api/users/admin/:userId) blocks admin-on-admin deletion. The two routes have divergent authorization logic.
Current Behavior
An admin can delete other admin accounts via the new controller endpoint without a 403 error.
Expected Behavior
DELETE /api/user/admin/:userId should check if target user has role=admin and return 403 (matching legacy route behavior).
