A remote code execution vulnerability exists within multiple subsystems of Drupal 7.x and 8.x. This potentially allows attackers to exploit multiple attack vectors on a Drupal site, which could result in the site being compromised. This vulnerability is related to Drupal core - Highly critical - Remote Code Execution - SA-CORE-2018-002. Both SA-CORE-2018-002 and this vulnerability are being exploited in the wild.
Updated — this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild.
There will be a security release of Drupal 7.x, 8.4.x, and 8.5.x on April 25th, 2018 between 16:00 - 18:00 UTC. This PSA is to notify that the Drupal core release is outside of the regular schedule of security releases. For all security updates, the Drupal Security Team urges you to reserve time for core updates at that time because there is some risk that exploits might be developed within hours or days. Security release announcements will appear on the Drupal.org security advisory page.
CKEditor, a third-party JavaScript library included in Drupal core, has fixed a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The vulnerability stemmed from the fact that it was possible to execute XSS inside CKEditor when using the image2 plugin (which Drupal 8 core also uses).
We would like to thank the CKEditor team for patching the vulnerability and coordinating the fix and release process, and matching the Drupal core security window.
This Public Service Announcement is a follow-up to SA-CORE-2018-002 - Drupal core - RCE. This is not an announcement of a new vulnerability. If you have not updated your site as described in SA-CORE-2018-002 you should assume your site has been targeted and follow directions for remediation as described below.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists within multiple subsystems of Drupal 7.x and 8.x. This potentially allows attackers to exploit multiple attack vectors on a Drupal site, which could result in the site being completely compromised.
The security team has written an FAQ about this issue.
Edited 2020, February 13 to fix links to patch files.
This module provides a JSON API standards-compliant API for accessing and manipulating Drupal content and configuration entities.
The module doesn't sufficiently check access when viewing related resources or relationships, thereby causing an access bypass vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must be allowed to view the related data, otherwise all they can glean is an entity type UUID and a UUID, which are meaningless by themselves.
