🔴 [HIGH] [Security] (confidence: 95%)
Why this is a problem:
The function promote_user sets is_admin=True for any user given their ID, without any authentication or authorization check. This allows any caller (e.g., an attacker or non-admin user) to escalate privileges arbitrarily. The comment itself confirms bypassing permission checks.
Suggested fix:
Add a permission check before modifying the user. For example, ensure the calling user is a superuser or has a specific permission: if not request.user.is_superuser: raise PermissionDenied. Additionally, consider using Django's admin or a dedicated permission system.

Adds admin_utils.py with a promote_user function that bypasses auth checks. The code review agent should flag the missing authorization.
