CiviCRM did not provide sufficient protection on the CKEditor configuration form, which could allow a malicious third-party to trick a CiviCRM administrator into changing the configuration.

Note: This form had another vulnerability in the same version. The risk from two overlapping vulnerabilities may be greater than the risk of each individually.
