* Version: 6.x
* Date: 2012-May-30
* Security risk: Less Critical [2]

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to moderate comments in an accelerated way, by
providing a complete interface and all useful actions in a unique page.
The module doesn't sufficiently protect the publish link URL, thus a Cross
Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against an administrator could result in
unintended publishing of comments.

Moderation [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

* If you use the Comment Moderation module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to
Comment Moderation 6.x-1.1 [4]
Also see the Comment Moderation [5] project page.
