- Project: Spider Video Player (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2015-February-25

Description
Spider Video Player module enables you to add HTML5 and Flash videos to your site.
The module doesn't sufficiently check user input when deleting files. A malicious user could delete arbitrary files by making a request to a specially-crafted URL. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have a role with the permission "access Spider Video Player administration".
Additionally, the module doesn't sufficiently protect some URLs against CSRF. A malicious user could trick an administrator into deleting videos by getting their browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.

- Arbitrary file deletion: CVE-2015-4351
- Cross Site Request Forgery: CVE-2015-4352
