 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Magento has released a critical patch (SUPEE-6285) that fixes many XSS and CSRF vulnerabilities (Official Release<\/a>).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, it seems many 3rd party extensions were affected by this due to bad implementation, and are returning “Access Denied” to all the admin roles except the Administrator.<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

If you can’t wait for an official patch for these extensions or have some custom made extensions, you can fix this easily.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Every class or controller that inherit Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action<\/b><\/span> must override the _isAllowed()<\/span><\/b> method.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For example, if your controller don’t use ACL, you can override the method as follows:<\/div>\n
protected function _isAllowed()\r\n{\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 return true;\r\n}<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Or if the controller is using ACL, you will have to find the ACL name and override the method using the ACL path:<\/div>\n
protected function _isAllowed()\r\n{\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 return Mage::getSingleton('admin\/session')->isAllowed('catalog\/report_module');\r\n}<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
The ACL path can be found in the extenion’s directory: etc\/adminhtml.xml<\/div>\n
For example, the below example has catalog\/report_module as ACL path:<\/div>\n
<acl>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <resources>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <admin>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <children>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
