* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-104 * Project: Dynamic display block [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2015-May-06 * Security risk: 7/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2] * Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to showcase featured content at a prominent place on the front page of the site in an attractive way.
The module doesn't sufficiently protect access to content a user has no access to. In certain scenarios a user with the "administer ddblock" permission can see titles of content for which this user has no access.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer ddblock" permission.
-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED --------------------------------------------
* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
