   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-098
   * Project: Keyword Research [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x
   * Date: 2015-April-22
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

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

Keyword Research module enables you to tag and prioritize keywords on a site
and node level basis.

The module doesn't sufficiently protect some URLs against CSRF. A malicious
user can cause another user with "kwresearch admin site keywords" permission
to create, delete and set priorities to keywords by getting their browser to
make a request to a specially-crafted URL.

     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Keyword
