SA-CONTRIB-2014-099 – Open Atrium Core – Access bypass

Description

The oa_core module contains the base access control mechanism for the Open Atrium distribution (OA2). In OA2, file attachments are given the same access permission as the node they are attached to.

The vulnerability is when an attachment is removed from a node that has Revisions enabled. It allows anonymous users to view the file that is still attached to the previous revision.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it requires using Revisions and removing files attached to revisions. If revisions are disabled or files are not removed from nodes then access works as designed.
