Nodejs – Access bypass – Moderately Critical — DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-007

Description

This module provides an API that other modules can use to add realtime capabilities to Drupal, specifically enabling pushing updates to open connected clients.

The module doesn’t disconnect unauthenticated sockets, allowing those sockets to receive broadcast messages. For sites that only serve authenticated pages, or only allows Node.js connections from authenticated users, the expectation is that only authenticated Drupal users will see broadcast messages.
