Problem
The createAccount method on
oauth/account/createAccountwouldn't actually check wether an account existed before creating the new one.Implications
Because of this, everyone can change another's account data by simply making a request to
oauth/account/createAccountwith that person's username and different userdata.Solution
I added an account exists check so that it first verifies that the account doesn't exist yet. If the account does exist, it doesn't create the new user.
Please note: this code isn't actually tested.
