The issue involves the fact that the getRoles method of user objects contained in the default UserFolder implementation returns a mutable Python type. Because the mutable object is still associated with the persistent User object, users with the ability to edit DTML could arrange to give themselves extra roles for the duration of a single request by mutating the roles list as a part of the request processing.

OK, so I can exploit this with something similar to user.getRoles().append('A Role That I Dont Have') But, why isnt the append method covered by the new inaccessible-by-default 2.2 security rules? Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
