- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-089
- Project: Node Access Keys (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2013-November-06
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
Node Access Keys helps to grant users temporary view permissions to selected content types on a per user role basis. However, it only implements hook_node_access() and not hook_query_alter(), which means any listing of nodes does not respect the node view access.
