Project: Subgroup [1]
Version: 1.0.x-dev
Date: 2021-January-27
Security risk: *Less critical* 9∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Description: 
This module enables you to add groups to other groups in a tree structure
where access can be inherited up or down the tree.

When you configure Subgroup to have a tree with at least three levels, users
may inadvertently get permissions in a group that is an uncle or cousin of
the source group, rather than a direct ancestor or descendant. Trees with
only multiple nodes at the lowest tier (or nowhere) are unaffected.

Solution: 
Install the latest version, Subgroup 1.0.1 [3], and clear your caches.
