Project: Profile [1]
Date: 2020-February-19
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Access Bypass

Description: 
The Profile module enables you to allow users to have configurable user
profiles.

The module doesn't sufficiently check access when creating a user profile.
Users with the "create profiles" permission could create profiles for any
users.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Profile module for Drupal 8.x, upgrade to Profile 8.x-1.1
    [3]

Also see the Profile [4] project page.
