NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200407-09.NASL description 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 privileges of the administrative group. Impact : If an administrative group called AdminGroup existed an attacker could create a user called AdminGroup and gain the privileges of the group AdminGroup. This could lead to unauthorized users gaining administrative access.
