   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-145
   * Project: Fieldable Panels Panes (FPP) [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-September-02
   * Security risk: 8/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

Fieldable Panels Panes enables you to create custom panes for embedding in
Panels-based displays (Page Manager, Panelizer, Panels Everywhere) via a
fieldable custom entity type.

The module doesn't sufficiently check for permission to edit existing
Fieldable Panels Panes entities, thus allowing someone to modify a pane they
don't have permission to edit.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the necessary permissions to edit a panels display that has a custom
pane, and it's uncommon that someone is given access to this functionality
and not also permission to edit the panes.
