5 SECURITY: possible way to defeat ACLs - ID: 948103
Last Update: Comment added ( thomaswaldmann )

Suppose that you have a group called AdminGroup with
special privileges. An attacker can then create a
*user* called AdminGroup and gain those privileges.

The work around is for the site admin to create an
account called AdminGroup and forget the password, but
a better solution would be for MoinMoin to forbid
creation of accounts which mach the page_group_regex. I
can read Python but not write it, otherwise I'd fix
this bug myself. Shouldn't be too hard, though.

Will also be in 1.2.2, when it is released.
