* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-166
* Project: Table of Contents [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x
* Date: 2012-November-14
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Access bypass

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

This module enables you to generates a list of select header tags in a box
that looks like a table of contents or summary. The links added to that box
point to the headers so users can quickly access each section of your
documents.

The module doesn't sufficiently check for node access restrictions when
displaying the table of contents in a block.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must find a node
that is not visible to him/her and yet displays its blocks including the
table of contents block. In some Drupal installations, this can happen for
unpublished nodes. Also, the attacker will only see the headers (content
between H1 to H6 tags) appearing in the table of contents, not the entire
page.

CVE: Requested

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------

* tableofcontents 6.x-3.x versions prior to 6.x-3.8.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Table of
Contents [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

* If you use the table of contents module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to
tableofcontents 6.x-3.8 [4]

Also see the Table of Contents [5] project page.
