CVE-2008-4215
Weblog in Mac OS X Server 10.4.11 does not properly check an error condition when a weblog posting access control list is specified for a user that has multiple short names, which might allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
