# Drupal Smart Content: missing access check lets visitors browse restricted content

The Drupal Smart Content module is missing an authorization check, so a request can reach content it should not be allowed to view by directly visiting its address. An attacker can read data that the site meant to keep behind access rules.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed version of the `drupal/smart_content` module with `composer show drupal/smart_content` and see whether it is `3.2.1` or older.
- Confirm the module is enabled with `drush pm:list --filter=smart_content`.

## Fix

- Upgrade `drupal/smart_content` to a release newer than `3.2.1`; the exact fixed version is unknown from the sources.
- Until upgraded, unknown.
