   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-020
   * Project: Timezone Detect [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2017-February-22
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

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

This module enables sites to automatically detect and set user timezones via
JavaScript.

The module does not sufficiently protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery
(CSRF): an attacker could use this vulnerability to manipulate a user's
timezone setting. The security implication of this issue depends on the site.
It can range from minor annoyance to some level of a bigger bug on a site
that relies on the timezone for some more important purpose.


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

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

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------

   * Timezone Detect 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

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

-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Timezone Detect module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Timezone
     Detect 7.x-1.2 [5]

Also see the Timezone Detect [6] project page.
