Project: SAML Service Provider
Date: 2020-March-11
Security risk: Critical 15∕25
Vulnerability: Access bypassThis module enables you to authenticate Drupal users using an external SAML Identity Provider.
If the site is configured to allow visitors to register for user accounts but administrator approval is required, the module doesn't sufficiently enforce the administrative approval requirement, in the case where the requesting user has already authenticated through SAML.

Project: Views Bulk Operations (VBO)
Date: 2020-February-05
Security risk: Moderately critical 12∕25
Vulnerability: Access bypassViews Bulk Operations provides enhancements to running bulk actions on views.
The module contains an access bypass vulnerability that might allow users to execute views actions that they should not have access to.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it only occurs in the case of customised action access (by means of hook_action_info_alter).
Following the 4-month release cycle, the Backdrop community has released the version 1.15 of Backdrop CMS.
