* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-050 * Project: Organic groups [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2011-October-26 * 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 has an API function to check access to an entity which is in a group "context". When the entity isn't in a group context, OG takes a permissive approach and allows access to the entity. Implementing modules such as Profile2 that try to check access on a non group/group content might result in access bypass
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Organic groups [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
