• Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-101
  • Project: Protected node (third-party module)
  • Version: 6.x
  • Date: 2012-June-13
  • Security risk: Moderately critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Access bypass

Description

The Protected Node module enables users to use a password to restrict access to an individual node or all nodes of a node type.

The module doesn't sufficiently protect node access when nodes are accessed outside of the standard node view (i.e. node/1 is protected but other lists are not).

CVE: CVE-2012-2730

Versions affected

  • Protected node 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.6.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:
