By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-167
- Project: RESTful (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-December-02
- Security risk: 8/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Complex/A:None/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
RESTful module allows Drupal to be operated via RESTful HTTP requests, using best practices for security, performance, and usability.
The module doesn't sufficiently validate some user input. Specific code could be run arbitrarily by an attacker in certain circumstances.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only sites with a custom implementation of methods from a specific class are affected. Also, that custom code would need to affect data or impact the site in some way.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- RESTful 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.6.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed RESTful module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the RESTful 7.x-1.x module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to RESTful 7.x-1.6
Also see the RESTful project page.
