   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-004
   * Project: Context [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-January-07
   * Security risk: 9/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Open Redirect

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

Context allows you to manage contextual conditions and reactions for
different portions of your site.

Context UI module wasn't checking for external URLs in the HTTP GET
destination parameter when redirecting users that are activating/deactivating
the Context UI inline editor dialog, thereby leading to an Open Redirect
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the victim must have the
permission "administer contexts" and that Context UI module must be enabled.

-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
