* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-141
* Project: Mass Contact [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x
* Date: 2012-September-12
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
This module allows anyone with permission to send a single message to
multiple users of a site, using its roles functionality.
The module doesn't sufficiently check permissions after the form has been
submitted.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must use a tool
of some kind (like the Tamper Data Firefox add-on) to intercept the form
submission request in order to modify the settings.
CVE: Requested

-------- SOLUTION
