I think ytrewqsm has a point.

If user X has authenticated, the server can know which user it is
(stateful) and refuse to change (for example) another user's profile
in response to a "Change user Y's password to xyz" request.

If the server is stateless and the logged in user state is held on the
client (recommended) then the server will innocently go ahead and
process the a spoofed change password request (and any other spoofed
request).

I think that is what ytrewqsm is getting at
