CVE-2013-7063
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Invitation module 7.x-2.x for Drupal does not properly check permissions, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified default views.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Invitation module 7.x-2.x for Drupal fails to properly enforce permission checks on certain default views, allowing remote attackers to access sensitive information without authorization. This is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) or information disclosure vulnerability stemming from missing access control validation on view pages.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if Invitation module is installedNavigate to Drupal admin dashboard, go to Modules page, or query the system table for the 'invitation' module. Alternatively, check the modules directory for the invitation folder.Affected if The Invitation module (invitation module) is present in the Drupal installation
-
Identify the installed Invitation module versionCheck the invitation.info file in the modules/invitation directory, or look at the module's info via Drupal's admin reports, or query the system table for the 'version' field of the invitation module.Affected if The installed version is 7.x-2.0 or 7.x-2.1 specifically
-
Inspect default view configurations for access checksNavigate to the Views UI at admin/structure/views, locate any default views provided by the Invitation module (typically named with 'invitation' prefix), and examine the View access settings under the View configuration under 'Access' in the views settings.Affected if The view access is set to None, Permission, or Role without proper invitation-specific permission checks configured
-
Test default view pages for unauthorized accessAccess the default view page URLs (typically at paths like /invitations, /invitation-uses, or similar default view paths provided by the module) while logged out or as an unauthenticated/unprivileged user.Affected if The default view pages are accessible without being logged in or without having the 'access invitations' permission
A user is affected if the Invitation module version 7.x-2.0 or 7.x-2.1 is installed AND default views are accessible without proper invitation-specific permission checks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate the Invitation module to a patched version that implements proper permission checks on all default views, or disable the module temporarily if no patch is available while reviewing view configurations for unauthorized access.
