NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream moin package and not the moin package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The rst parser (parser/text_rst.py) in MoinMoin 1.6.1 does not check the ACL of an included page, which allows attackers to read unauthorized include files via unknown vectors.
