   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-049
   * Project: Workbench Scheduler [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2016-August-24
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

Workbench Scheduler module provides users with the ability to create
schedules that change moderated content from one workbench moderation state
to another.

An authenticated user could add a schedule to a node even when that content
type has schedules disabled.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that a attacker must have access
to an account in the system with permission to edit content and create
schedules. Also, only sites with a specific combination of permissions and
modules are affected.


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

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

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

   * Workbench Scheduler 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.9.
