This isn't a security issue currently, because in order to store the cell the user must have a relevant WRITE grant, and the user is allowed to specify whatever ACL for the cell they'd like. However it could become a correctness problem in the future, if we introduce format sanity checking or the like, so let's disallow inbound mutations containing cells with reserved tags like the VisibilityController does. > The check is skipped if the active user is a superuser. First, superusers are allowed to do anything. Second, replication (as superuser) must be able to store incoming cells with ACL tags. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
