Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.
The 7.x version of the module does not adequately check that the favicon path provided by the theme is actually a favicon and should be readable by the site. This can allow an attacker to access arbitrary system files by specifying them as the sites's favicon file.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer theme".
Note that since this is a pre release version, no security advisory was issued by the Drupal security team.
The 6.x versions prior to this release use a "Location: " header to redirect to the favicon path which is set in the admin settings for the theme. This uses the header() function from php rather than Drupal's header which is vulnerable to a header injection exploit.
These vulnerabilities are mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer theme".
This is only a problem for web sites running PHP 5.1 and below which is unsupported so no security advisory has been published.
