- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-033
- Project: Certify (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2015-January-28
- Security risk: 11/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Access bypass, Information Disclosure, Multiple vulnerabilities
Description
Certify enables you to automatically issue PDF certificates to users upon completion of a set of conditions.
The module does not sufficiently check node access when showing (and creating) the PDF certificates. This can lead to users seeing certificates they should not have access to.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have completed the conditions of the certificate.

- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
