- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-020
- Project: Features (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2016-April-13
- Security risk: 7/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery, Denial of Service
Description
This module enables you to organize and export configuration data.
The module doesn’t sufficiently protect the admin/structure/features/cleanup path with a token. If an attacker can trick an admin with the “manage features” permission to request a special URL, it could lead to clearing the cache repeatedly and a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the admin with the “manage features” permissions must be logged in when they request the special URL.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- Features 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.9.
