- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-147
- Project: RESTful (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-September-09
- Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
This module enables you to expose your Drupal backend by generating a RESTful API.
The module doesn’t sufficiently account for core’s page cache generation for anonymous users, when using non-cookie authentication providers. Authenticated users, via one of the authentication providers, can have their pages cached as anonymous users, and therefore allowing access to potentially restricted information during subsequent anonymous requests.

- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
