View online: https://www.drupal.org/node/2670636

   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-007
   * Project: Node.js integration [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x, 8.x
   * Date: 2016-February-17
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Information Disclosure

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

This module provides an API that other modules can use to add realtime
capabilities to Drupal, specifically enabling pushing updates to open
connected clients.

The module doesn't disconnect unauthenticated sockets, allowing those sockets
to receive broadcast messages. For sites that only serve authenticated pages,
or only allows Node.js connections from authenticated users, the expectation
is that only authenticated Drupal users will see broadcast messages.


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

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

---------------------------------------------------

   * Node.js 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.11.
   * Node.js 8.x-1.x beta versions prior to 8.x-1.0.

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