Inherited permissions not reliably shown in pages in sub-namespaces? about aclinfo

[cgalo5758]

I am having the same issue. I have ACLInfo on a sidebar along with NOCACHE and it gets the permissions for the namespace correctly, but it doesn't get them correctly for subnamespaces. This is a security concern for my org.

I'm seeing this, too.

With a namespace structure a:b:c:d aclinfo displays correct information up until a:b:c but for a:b:c:d displays the permissions from the root namespace a.

This is based on observance only, I would be willing to do a bit of testing if I'd see some reaction here. But as the bug seems to be at least 9 years old, I suspect that any more effort on my side would be in vain...

A pull request with unit tests wold be welcome.

Unfortunately I'm no PHP developer. Or any other kind, really. But I'll look at it and see if that would be feasible for me to learn. You'll hear from me if I succeed.

But maybe there are other takers? Or maybe not, if one considers how old the issue is ;-)

Looks like the update from 01.10.2020 fixed the issue.
At least my testcase is shown correctly, now.
