  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-034
  * Project: Auto Login URL [1]     (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x, 8.x
  * Date: 2017-April-05
  * Security risk: 8/25 ( Less Critical)
    AC:Complex/A:None/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
  * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

This module lets you create auto login URLs programmatically on demand and
through tokens.

The module does not provide sufficient protection when generating login URLs.
An attacker could rebuild login URLs independently thereby logging in as
another user.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker needs to be able
to exactly guess the second when a login URL was generated for a user.
Furthermore the attacker also needs to know the victim user ID and login
destination of the generated login URL. The attack is also mitigated by the
fact that the module has flood control, so an attacker has only limited
attempts to guess login URLs.
