A vulnerability in Plone 2.5 to Plone 4.0 that allows anonymous users to gain manager access to a Plone site.

This is an escalation of privileges attack that can be used by anonymous users to gain access to a Plone site's administration controls, view unpublished content, create new content and modify a site's skin.  The sandbox protecting access to the underlying system is still in place, and it does not grant access to other applications running on the same Zope instance.
