It's wild to me that this could happen just from solving the puzzle that allows the user's account to use the user's privileges (only) on the service... ?

Since it's cryptographic signing, wouldn't this require reversing the hash? Does any valid inverse of the hash work, or only the actual password that happened to get hashed?
