- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-061
- Project: Flippy (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2013-July-31
- Security risk: Less critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
This module enables you to generate previous/next links for content types.
The module doesn't sufficiently enforce node access when generating previous/next links. A user may be presented with a link (including alias if one is set) but will not be able to view the node content.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to access content.
