   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-069
   * Project: Views Refresh [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x, 8.x
   * Date: 2017-August-16
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

When creating a view, you can optionally use Ajax to update the displayed
data via filter parameters.  The views refresh module  did not restrict
access to the Ajax endpoint to only views configured to use Ajax.  This is
mitigated if you have access restrictions on the view.

It is best practice to always include some form of access restrictions on all
views, even if you are using another module to display them.
