Jürgen Weber commented on JSPWIKI-645:
--------------------------------------

So, there is a simple attack which completely circumvents ACL protection: 

Just add a cronjob that wgets every minute a page with RecentChangesPlugin and 
append to a log. You get *all* ACL protected content.
With some diff logic you can even restore the pages completely.




> RecentChanges plugin shows pages, for which the user has no access
