Description Permissions Escalation. A malicious user who can edit the wiki index can change the index into a sub-area, or who can edit index-level feeds can move those feeds to another area, without having permissions to move wiki content. In addition, changing the index to a sub-area can potentially change the way permissions are inherited throughout the wiki for all users, leading to mass additional permissions escalations.
