Currently, we are running JSPWiki 2.2.33. Thus, ACLs are defined using the users' login names. We want to upgrade to the 2.4.x series now, which supports setting a full name. Fortunately, I can't use another user's full name for myself, but in fact I can use his login name as full name. This will cause all the ACL settings for him defined using his login name also apply to me.
I propose not to allow setting another user's login name as full name at all.
Good catch. Upgraded this, since this is a critical security flaw.
This has been fixed in 2.4.52. Thanks for spotting this.
