Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4404)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

security/__init__.py in MoinMoin 1.9 through 1.9.4 does not properly handle group names that contain virtual group names such as "All," "Known," or "Trusted," which allows remote authenticated users with virtual group membership to be treated as a member of the group.
