  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-003
  • Project: BUEditor (third-party module)
  • Version: 4.7.x, 5.x
  • Date: 2008-January-10
  • Security risk: Not critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross site request forgery

Description

BUEditor is a plain textarea editor aiming to facilitate code writing. It supports completely customizable interface and button functionality via role-based editors.

The Drupal Forms API protects against cross site request forgeries (CSRF), where a malicous site can cause a user to unintentionally submit a form to a site where he is authenticated. The editor deletion form does not follow the standard Forms API submission model and is therefore not protected against this type of attack. A CSRF attack may result in the deletion of custom editor interfaces.

Versions affected

  • BUEditor for Drupal 4.7.x before BUEditor 4.7.x-1.0
  • BUEditor for Drupal 5.x before BUEditor 5.x-1.1

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed BUEditor module, there is nothing you need to do.
