  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-041
  * Project: Chaos tool suite (ctools) [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2013-April-03

  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

This CTools module provides a set of APIs and tools to improve the developer
experience.

The module doesn't sufficiently enforce node access when providing an
autocomplete list of suggested node titles, allowing users with the "access
content" permission to see the titles of nodes which they should not be able
to view.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Chaos tool
suite (ctools) [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
