Description

Node view permissions module enables permissions "View own content" and "View any content" for each content type on permissions page

The module doesn't sufficiently handle the case where a user is cancelled and their content is reassigned to the anonymous user.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only private contents where anonymous should not have view access are affected, and only if a node was reassigned to the anonymous user.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity none, availability none.
