Description

CVE: CVE-2012-1644

This module enables you to have a specific vocabulary per organic group.
The module doesn't sufficiently check access to vocabularies while allowing a group admin to edit the vocabularies.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to "administer own group vocabulary" and be an admin of another group.

Versions affected

  • OG Vocab 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed OG Vocabulary module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:
