- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-069
- Project: Views Refresh (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x, 8.x
- Date: 2017-August-16
- Security risk: 17/25 ( Critical) AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
When creating a view, you can optionally use Ajax to update the displayed data via filter parameters. The views refresh module did not restrict access to the Ajax endpoint to only views configured to use Ajax. This is mitigated if you have access restrictions on the view.
It is best practice to always include some form of access restrictions on all views, even if you are using another module to display them.
