-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Token Authentication module provides a token for use in the URL to authenticate users to a site. Under certain uncommon situations, the module may not revert a user's session properly. Depending on how tokenauth is used, this could result in subsequent requests being performed as a user with additional privileges when they shouldn't.
CVE: Requested

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Token Authentication [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
