   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-064
   * Project: Course [1] (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2014-June-18
   * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
   * Exploitable from: Remote
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

This module enables you to create e-learning courses with any number of
requirements for completion. A "Course object" is a relationship entity
between a Course and a learning object, such as a Node.

The module doesn't sufficiently check access on Course object edit forms. The
configuration options of any Course object are visible to any user including
the anonymous user.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that while the form and its
configuration options can be viewed, no changes can be saved.

     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
