- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-075
- Project: Take Control (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-May-09
- Security risk: Critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery
Description
CVE: CVE-2012-2341
This module enables you to manage your Drupal file-system from within Drupal itself.
The module does not sufficiently validate Ajax calls leading to possibility of a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must be able to guess your Drupal file-system root path exactly. Further, if your site follows the secure file-system permissions recommendations and the web-server account does not have write access to Drupal root, only files/folders in Drupal's "files" directory are open to manipulation.
Versions affected
- Take Control 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Take Control module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Take Control module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Take Control 6.x-2.2
Also see the Take Control project page.
