* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-037 * Project: Slidebox [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2012-March-14 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Slidebox [3] module allows webmasters do display a link to the next node in a jQuery box that slides in from the right side of the page after a user scrolls past a certain point. While the module checks for "published" status, the module does not contain sufficient usage of node_access() to prevent users from accessing content that they do not have proper permission to access (for example, nodes or node types that have been protected via an access control module). -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Slidebox 7.x-1.x versions prior to and including 7.x-1.3. * Slidebox 7.x-2.x-dev Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Slidebox [4] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Slidebox module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Slidebox 7.x-1.4 [5] See also the Slidebox [6] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Joshua Brauer [7] of the Drupal Security Team -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Brian Altenhofel [8] - the module maintainer -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Michael Hess [9] of the Drupal Security Team * Dave Reid [10] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [11].
