   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-063
   * Project: Relation [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2017-August-09
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:None/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Exploit/TD:Uncommon [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

This module enables you to store relationships between entities as fieldable
entities.

The module doesn't sufficiently check permissions when displaying related
entities labels with the Relation Dummy Field module widget.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the optional Relation Dummy
Field module must be enabled and any entity must be configured to display
related entities with the widget provided by the module.

-------- SOLUTION
