Patches Available4.1.0 Beta 1
The versions listed below are known to be affected by this issue. If you are using one of those versions, you should update to a newer release that has no known vulnerabilities.

Notes

While the behavior exists in prior versions, it is only possible to set different permissions for the index node beginning with 4.1.0 Alpha 1. Therefore only versions that share both this ability and the unwanted behavior are considered vulnerable.
