Drupal core's sanitization API fails to properly filter cross-site scripting under certain circumstances.
Not all sites and users are affected, but configuration changes to prevent the exploit might be impractical and will vary between sites. Therefore, we recommend all sites update to this release as soon as possible.
The Drupal project uses the PEAR Archive_Tar library. The PEAR Archive_Tar library has released a security update that impacts Drupal. For more information please see:
Update November 18: Documented longer list of dangerous file extensions
Drupal core does not properly sanitize certain filenames on uploaded files, which can lead to files being interpreted as the incorrect extension and served as the wrong MIME type or executed as PHP for certain hosting configurations.
A vulnerability exists in the File module which allows an attacker to gain access to the file metadata of a permanent private file that they do not have access to by guessing the ID of the file.
The experimental Workspaces module allows you to create multiple workspaces on your site in which draft content can be edited before being published to the live workspace.
The Workspaces module doesn't sufficiently check access permissions when switching workspaces, leading to an access bypass vulnerability. An attacker might be able to see content before the site owner intends people to see the content.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that sites are only vulnerable if they have installed the experimental Workspaces module.
JSON:API PATCH requests may bypass validation for certain fields.
By default, JSON:API works in a read-only mode which makes it impossible to exploit the vulnerability. Only sites that have the read_only set to FALSE under jsonapi.settings config are vulnerable.
