SA-CONTRIB-2012-020 - Faster Permissions - Access bypass

CVE: CVE-2012-1643

This module enables you to configure the permissions of a specific module on a separate page. This is especially handy for sites with a large list of permissions.

The module doesn’t sufficiently check for the required permissions when the provided permission administration is displayed and therefore allows users without the required permissions to configure module permissions.

Versions affected

• Faster Permissions 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Faster Permissions module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

• If you use the Faster Permissions module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Faster Permissions 7.x-1.2
