   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-039
   * Project: Views [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2015-February-11
   * Security risk: 8/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
   * Vulnerability: Multiple vulnerabilities

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

The Views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to
control how lists and tables of content, users, taxonomy terms and other data
are presented.

.... Open redirect vulnerability

The module does not sanitize user provided URLs when processing the page to
break the lock on Views being edited, thereby exposing an open redirect
attack vector.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the Views UI submodule must
be enabled.

.... Access bypass vulnerability

The module does not protect the default Views configurations that ship with
the module sufficiently, thereby exposing possibly protected information to
unprivileged users.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it only affects sites that
have not granted the common "access content" or "access comments" permission
to untrusted users. Furthermore, these default views configurations are
disabled by default and must be enabled by an administrator.
