If a unknown internet user knows the URL of the mediamanager in a DokuWiki,
the person can browse and examine the full media file tree,
even if this is a closed wiki.

 
Helmut,
 
I have a dw installation were only the root:start page is visible to visitors, 
for the rest the people need to login. When I open the mediamanager url as a 
non-logged-in user, I can see nothing; no namespaces and no media. When I log 
in as a user who has not the rights to all namespaces, I can see only the 
namespaces he has access to and so also the media he has access to.
 
So I see no reason for using the patch (on my installation that is); am I 
missing something? Maybe I just can't see what you mean but I do want to know 
if my dw is secure.
 
Regards,
Paul
