* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-131
* Project: Email Field [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x, 7.x
* Date: 2012-August-29
* Security risk: Less critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
The email module provides a field type (CCK / FieldAPI) for storing email
addresses. Furthermore, it provides a formatter to output the email address
as a link to a contact form. The contact form formatter allows a site visitor
to email the stored address without letting them see what that e-mail address
is.
The module didn't sufficiently check access for the contact form page,
allowing a site visitor to email the stored address on the entity without
having access to the entity itself.
CVE: Requested

---------------------------------------------------
