- Project: Passwordless (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x

- Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All

Description
This module replaces the regular Drupal login form with a modification of the password-request form, to give the possibility to log in without using a password.
The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize user-generated text entered in the module’s configuration form.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “configure passwordless settings”.
