- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-104
- Project: Dynamic display block (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-May-06

- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
This module enables you to showcase featured content at a prominent place on the front page of the site in an attractive way.
The module doesn’t sufficiently protect access to content a user has no access to. In certain scenarios a user with the “administer ddblock” permission can see titles of content for which this user has no access.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “administer ddblock” permission.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
