MoinMoin: Group ACL bypass Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-25 (MoinMoin: Group ACL bypass) MoinMoin contains two unspecified bugs, one permiting anonymous users elevated access when not using ACLs, and the other in the ACL handling in the PageEditor. Impact Restrictions on anonymous users were not properly enforced. This could lead to unauthorized users gaining administrative access to functions such as "revert" and "delete". Sites are vulnerable whether or not they are using ACLs. Workaround There is no known workaround.
