Fieldable Panels Panes – Less Critical – Access bypass – SA-CONTRIB-2015-145

Description

Fieldable Panels Panes enables you to create custom panes for embedding in Panels-based displays (Page Manager, Panelizer, Panels Everywhere) via a fieldable custom entity type.

The module doesn’t sufficiently check for permission to edit existing Fieldable Panels Panes entities, thus allowing someone to modify a pane they don’t have permission to edit.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the necessary permissions to edit a panels display that has a custom pane, and it’s uncommon that someone is given access to this functionality and not also permission to edit the panes.
