   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-114
   * Project: Storage API [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-May-27
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

The Storage API module creates an underlying agnostic storage layer for
Drupal using many different underlying storage methods. Storage API can be
used to create fields for entities to hold data.

The module failed to restrict access to the Storage API fields attached to
entities that are not nodes.

This is mitigated by the fact that only entities with fields using storage
classes that have access restrictions are affected (they don't have by
default).


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

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

   * Storage API 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.8.

-------- SOLUTION
