- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2016-August-24
- Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Complex/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
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.

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