   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-147
   * Project: RESTful [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-September-09
   * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

This module enables you to expose your Drupal backend by generating a RESTful
API.

The module doesn't sufficiently account for core's page cache generation for
anonymous users, when using non-cookie authentication providers.
Authenticated users, via one of the authentication providers, can have their
pages cached as anonymous users, and therefore allowing access to potentially
restricted information during subsequent anonymous requests.


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

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

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

   * RESTful 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed RESTful [4]
module, there is nothing you need to do.
