- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-021
- Project: Organic Groups Vocabulary (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-February-15
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
CVE: CVE-2012-1644
This module enables you to have a specific vocabulary per organic group.
The module doesn't sufficiently check access to vocabularies while allowing a group admin to edit the vocabularies.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to "administer own group vocabulary" and be an admin of another group.
Versions affected
- OG Vocab 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed OG Vocabulary module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the OG Vocab module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to OG Vocab 6.x-1.2
See also the OG Vocabulary project page.
