Trying to make sure this is an exploitable vulnerability...

if add_to_instance and remove_from_instance are protected by RBAC, can you actually do any harm using the unprotected functions ? What would be the attack scenario ? Would for example using remove_rules remove securitygroup rules from instances ?
