-------- DESCRIPTION

The Invitation module restricts registration to users who have an invite code

The module provides default views that don't check access to views prior to
displaying private information like usernames and email addresses.

     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Invitation [4]
module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION

If you use the Invitation module for Drupal 7.x, you should disable the
module. There is no release with a fix.
