* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-148 * Project: Organic groups [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2012-September-26 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
OG (Organic groups) 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. A group membership can be given immediately upon subscribing, or be pending - waiting for a group administrator to approve it.
OG doesn't properly maintain pending memberships if the user is allowed to edit their own account.
In addition, under certain circumstances, a user was able to post to a group which they were not a member of.
There are no additional mitigating factors for these issues.
CVE: Requested
