- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-114
- Project: Storage API (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-May-27
- Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
The Storage API module creates an underlying agnostic storage layer for Drupal using many different underlying storage methods. Storage API can be used to create fields for entities to hold data.
The module failed to restrict access to the Storage API fields attached to entities that are not nodes.
This is mitigated by the fact that only entities with fields using storage classes that have access restrictions are affected (they don’t have by default).
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- Storage API 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.8.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Storage API module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Storage API module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Storage API 7.x-1.8
