Description
The Flag clear module allows administrators to remove user flags for content. This functionality is often useful in user-submission use-cases, where users do not necessarily need to unflag things on their own.
The module doesn't sufficiently confirm a user's intent to take unflagging actions.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- All Flag clear module versions prior to 7.x-1.10.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Flag clear module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Flag clear module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Flag clear 7.x-1.10
