Issue Summary

There is a syntax error in email_verify.check.inc on line 28.

In addition, the access permissions on email_verify page pose a real security/privacy risk since anyone with view access content permission (everyone) can view all other user email addresses. The path should be set to:

admin/users/users/email_verify

and the access arguments should be set to:

administer users

Attached is patch which fixes this (patched against 6.x-1.x-dev 2009-Mar-19).

#1

Thanks for the fixes.

I never documented the verify function, so the risk is smaller, but indeed it can easily be found in the code, so it's safer like this.

The patch is applied to the 6.x-1.x-dev branch.
