SA-CONTRIB-2015-024 – Alfresco – Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Description

The Alfresco module provides integration between Drupal and Alfresco via Content Management Web Services (SOAP) and Repository RESTful API. The Alfresco Browser submodule provides an AJAX-based repository browser that allows users to visualize, upload, search and retrieve nodes from the Alfresco repository.

Some links from Alfresco Browser were not properly protected from CSRF. A malicious user could cause a user to delete alfresco nodes by getting the user’s browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL while the user was logged in.
