   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-008
   * Project: Batch Jobs [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-January-07
   * Security risk: 15/25 ( Critical)
     AC:None/A:None/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

The Batch Jobs project is a scalable way to execute a list of tasks.

Links that take actions on batch jobs are not protected from Cross Site
Request Forgery (CSRF).  A malicious individual could cause a user that has
permission to access a particular batch job (or an administrator)  to dele
the record of that batch job or possibly execute a task by getting the user's
browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL while the user is logged
in.

This vulnerability only exists when batch job data exists - i.e. during the
short period it is running or if it is retained (not deleted after completion
of the batch job).

-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance
            with Drupal Security Team processes./

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------

   * Batch Jobs 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Batch Jobs [4]
module,
       there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure that all batch jobs are deleted or install the latest version:
   * If you use the Batch Jobs project for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Batch Jobs
     7.x-1.2 [5]

Also see the Batch Jobs [6] project page.
