- Advisory ID: SA-CONTRIB-2012-109
- Project: Restrict node page view (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2012-July-11
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
This module enables you to disable direct access to node pages (node/XXX) based on nodetypes and permissions.
The module issues a NODE_ACCESS_ALLOW if it's permissions are met, but does not respect the "administer nodes" or "access own unpublished content" permissions. The consequence is that this module grants access to unpublished content to any role that has the "view any node page" or "view any node {type} page" permissions.
CVE: CVE-2012-4473
Versions affected
- Restrict node page view 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.
