Forwarding message vulnerability on Google Groups

If joebloggs () google com is banned from a Google Group and
xploitable () gmail com is registered with that group,
joebloggs () google com can subscribe to a mailing list such as
Full-Disclosure and start forwarding all messages xploitable () gmail com
sends to that mailing list if xploitable () gmail com is registered to
it, and directly post them to the Google Group joebloggs () google com is
banned from.

This is probably done by the banned joebloggs () google com setting up a
filter on Gmail Settings > Filter > Matches:
from:(xploitable () gmail com)
Do this: Forward to (n3td3v () googlegroups com).

Severity of this issue is obviously critical and you should switch the
victim's registered (xploitable () gmail com) e-mail address on a Google
Group to "moderate" as a work around, until Google Groups fixes this
vulnerability.

Google Inc. (GOOG) was notified simultaneously as this security
advisory was published to the wild.
