- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-060
- Project: - Petitions - (third-party distribution)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2014-June-11
- Security risk: Less critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery
Description
This distribution enables you to build an application that lets users create and sign petitions.
The contained wh_petitions module doesn't sufficiently verify the intent of the user when signing a petition. A malicious user could trick another user into signing a petition they did not intend to sign by getting them to visit a specially-crafted URL while logged in.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- petitions 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed - Petitions - distribution, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the petitions distribution for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to petitions 7.x-1.2 or petitions 7.x-2.0-beta19
Note that petitions 7.x-1.2 is the last release for the first version of petitions. petitions 7.x-1.x is no longer maintained, and you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest version petitions 7.x-2.0-beta19. Also see the - Petitions - project page.
