Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are most likely to be affected?

Deployments using this module are at risk where other access-control mechanisms are intended to restrict viewing of published content. The module can allow view access to published content despite those other restrictions.

2

How can I assess whether my site is exposed?

Review whether the module is enabled and whether published content is subject to access restrictions imposed by other mechanisms. If so, verify that published content cannot be viewed by users who should be denied access.
