Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-06-26 16:48:27 UTC
A security flaw was found in the way Plone, a user friendly and powerful content management system, enforced immutable setting on certain content edit forms. A remote attacker could use this flaw to provide a specially-crafted URL that would (in a non-persistent way) hide certain fields from these content edit forms, possibly leading to scenario such altered forms to be erroneously accepted by authenticated Plone user as valid.
