CVE-2012-5485: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
(updated )
It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, does not properly protect the administrator interface (control panel). A remote attacker could use this flaw to inject a specially crafted Python statement or script into Plone’s restricted Python sandbox that, when the administrator interface was accessed, would be executed with the privileges of that administrator user.
