View online: https://drupal.org/node/2248171

   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-045
   * Project: Drupal Commons [1] (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-April-23
   * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
   * Exploitable from: Remote
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

This SA contains two patches against Drupal Commons

.... Views Bulk Operations Access Bypass

Drupal commons comes with a view to moderate reported content, which is
intended for authenticated users to view which content has been reported.
Since it has hard coded VBO operations within the view, and Drupal Commons
doesn't come with the VBO 'access_permissions' submodule enabled, all views
bulk operations can be performed by anyone with access to the view. In its
default setting, this allows users to delete content from other users and
potentially ban other users from the site.

.... Anonymous Users can view Wiki revisions regardless of group privacy

Commons allows users of a group to edit a wiki created by anyone, regardless
of edit permissions. It is supposed to refer back to the group permissions
when creating this edit permission. However, the revisions permission hook
allows anyone (anonymous or authenticated) to view revisions and diffs
between revisions. This can potentially leak hidden data from groups a user
does not otherwise have access to.

-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
