- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------

- ------------SA-2008-011 - SECURESITE - ACCESS BYPASS------------

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-011

  * Project: Secure Site (third-party module)

  * Version: 5.x-1.0, 4.7.x-1.0

  * Date: 2008-January-30

  * Security risk: Moderately critical

  * Exploitable from: Remote

  * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

The Secure Site module provides functions for placing your site behind HTTP
based authentication.

The module contains a flaw that allows an attacker who is behind the same proxy
as a logged in user, to access the site as if the attacker is the user.

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

  * Secure Site for Drupal 5.x and 4.7.x.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Secure Site
module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use Drupal 5.x upgrade to Secure Site 5.x-1.1 [
http://drupal.org/node/216054 ].

  * If you use Drupal 4.7.x upgrade to Secure Site 4.7.x-1.1 [
http://drupal.org/node/216053 ].

See also the Secure Site project page [ http://drupal.org/project/securesite ].


Since the IP-authentication feature proved to be beyond fixing it was removed
from the new releases.

- ------------REPORTED BY------------
