  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-120
  * Project: Monthly Archive by Node Type [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2012-August-1
  * Security risk: Less critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Access bypass

-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

This module generates a monthly archive and block for specified node types,
as well as an archive and block for whichever collection of node types you
specify.
The module doesn't sufficiently ensure node access for sites that use a node
access system.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it only affects sites using
a node_access module.

CVE: Requested

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

vulnerability.
