- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-145
- Project: Fieldable Panels Panes (FPP) (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-September-02
- Security risk: 8/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
Fieldable Panels Panes enables you to create custom panes for embedding in Panels-based displays (Page Manager, Panelizer, Panels Everywhere) via a fieldable custom entity type.
The module doesn’t sufficiently check for permission to edit existing Fieldable Panels Panes entities, thus allowing someone to modify a pane they don’t have permission to edit.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the necessary permissions to edit a panels display that has a custom pane, and it’s uncommon that someone is given access to this functionality and not also permission to edit the panes.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
