SA-CONTRIB-2014-031 - Webform Template - Access Bypass

By Drupal Security Team on 12 Mar 2014 at 20:30 UTC

Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-031
Project: Webform Template (third-party module)
Version: 7.x
Date: 2014-March-12
Security risk: Less critical
Exploitable from: Remote
Vulnerability: Access Bypass

Description

This module enables you to copy webform config from one node to another.
The module doesn't respect node access when providing possible nodes to copy from. As a result, a user may be disclosed the titles of nodes he does not have view access to and as such he may be able to copy the webform configuration from otherwise hidden nodes.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the system must be using a node access control module and an attacker must have a role that has access to edit nodes of the "webform template destination" type.

CVE identifier(s) issued

A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

All Webform Template 6.x-1.x versions.
Webform Template 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

If you use the Webform Template module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to a newer version. The issue is fixed as from 7.x-1.3.
If using an older version, be aware of the risks & consequences.

Note: For some people, the previous behavior was actually exactly how they used this module. To restore the original functionality, go to the settings ( admin/config/content/webform_template ) and check the "Defeat node access" checkbox.
