* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-037 * Project: Slidebox [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2012-March-14 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Slidebox [3] module allows webmasters do display a link to the next node in a jQuery box that slides in from the right side of the page after a user scrolls past a certain point.
While the module checks for "published" status, the module does not contain sufficient usage of node_access() to prevent users from accessing content that they do not have proper permission to access (for example, nodes or node types that have been protected via an access control module).
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Slidebox 7.x-1.x versions prior to and including 7.x-1.3. * Slidebox 7.x-2.x-dev
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Slidebox [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Slidebox module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Slidebox 7.x-1.4 [5]
See also the Slidebox [6] project page.
