   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-163
   * Project: Monster Menus [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-November-04
   * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

Monster Menus is a hierarchical menu tree, which provides highly scalable,
granular permissions for all pages within a site.

The module includes an option to remove nodes from view (add them to a
"recycle bin") rather than deleting them outright. When a node has been put
into a bin using an affected version of the module, it remains visible via a
seldom-used URL pattern to the users to whom it had been visible previously,
when it was outside of the recycle bin.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the facts that:

   1) Sites which do not use the recycle bin feature are not vulnerable.
   2) The exposed node is no more accessible than it had been before being
      placed into the recycle bin. If the node could not be read by a
      particular user while it was on the regular page, it would still be
      unreadable by that user when in the recycle bin.
