Project: Private content [1]
Date: 2024-February-28
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 12∕25
AC:None/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Affected versions: <2.1.0
Description: 
This module gives each node a 'private' checkbox. If it's set, the node can
only be seen by the node author, or users with the 'access private content'
permission.

The module incorrectly grants access to private nodes under certain specific
circumstances. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker
must have a role with the permission "Access private content".

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Private Content module for Drupal 8.x, upgrade to Private
     Content 8.x-2.1 [3]
