Workbench Scheduler – Moderately Critical – Access Bypass – SA-CONTRIB-2016-049

Description

Workbench Scheduler module provides users with the ability to create schedules that change moderated content from one workbench moderation state to another.

An authenticated user could add a schedule to a node even when that content type has schedules disabled.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that a attacker must have access to an account in the system with permission to edit content and create schedules. Also, only sites with a specific combination of permissions and modules are affected.
