MoinMoin: Group ACL bypass Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200407-09 (MoinMoin: Group ACL bypass) MoinMoin contains a bug in the code handling administrative group ACLs. A user created with the same name as an administrative group gains the rights of the administrative group. Impact If an administrative group called AdminGroup existed a possible hacker could create a user called AdminGroup and gain the rights of the group AdminGroup. This could lead to unauthorized users gaining administrative access. Workaround For every administrative group with special rights create a user with the same name as the group.
