Colorbox - Access bypass - Less Critical - SA-CONTRIB-2015-156

This module allows for integration of Colorbox, a jQuery lightbox plugin, into Drupal.

The module allows unprivileged users to add unexpected content to a Colorbox, including content from external sites. This allows an unprivileged user to deface a site.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have permission to post comments with a text format that allows links.
