Only the access content permission is needed to access the page which displays the user names and real names for users, used by the autocompletion widget, resulting in an information disclosure vulnerability.

guillaumeduveauI thought that adding
in realname_userreference_menu() would be OK, but it's not working... If I grant NO permission for "use realname" to the anonymous user, http://mysite.com/realname_userreference/autocomplete still can be accessed.
Does someone have an idea of what's happening ?

guillaumeduveauThe Drupal security team discussed this and decided that it was not a security hole, since Realname's data in intended to be public.
Since what I did in #4 and in -6-1 does not improve anything, I'm reverting to
Marking that as "won't fix", but I'm open to patches that improve the situation, and will consider #840964: Permission of the autocomplete callback path.

guillaumeduveauMarking as "duplicate", instead.
