* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-049 * Project: Organic groups [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2014-May-07 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
Organic groups (OG) enables users to create and manage their own 'groups'. Each group can have subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers communicate amongst themselves.
OG doesn't sufficiently check the permissions when a group member is pending or blocked status within the group and tries to access information in a site.
This vulnerability only affects sites using the "Organic groups access control" sub-module available within the Organic Groups package. It's further mitigated by the fact that an attacker must be pending or blocked.
-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED --------------------------------------------
* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Organic Groups 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.7.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Organic groups [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------

* If you use the Organic Groups module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Organic Groups 7.x-2.7 [5]
