Project: Group [1]
Version: 8.x-1.x-dev
Date: 2020-July-29
Security risk: *Critical* 15∕25
AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Information Disclosure

Description: 
This module enables you to hand out permissions on a smaller subset, section
or community of your website.

The module used to leverage the node grants system but turned it off in its
recent 8.x-1.0 release in favor of a system that works for ALL entity types,
not just nodes. By doing so, some regular node access checks turned from
neutral into allowed because of the way the node grants system operates.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the
GroupNode plugin installed on their website and have no other
hook_node_grants() implementations on their website aside from the one that
was recently removed by Group. If you do not use the GroupNode plugin or
still have hook_node_grants() implementing modules enabled, your site may not
be affected.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you are using 8.x-1.0-rc5 you can keep using that version or upgrade 
to
     8.x-1.1 [3]
   * If you are using 8.x-1.0 you should upgrade to 8.x-1.1 [4]
