* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-048 * Project: Edit Limit [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2013-May-29 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
Edit Limit enables you to set time and count-based limits on how and when a user can edit nodes or comments.
The module doesn't sufficiently check user access when editing comments to see if the user has the necessary permissions to edit a comment outside of the limits applied by this module. This makes it possible for a user who can edit their own comments to edit the comments of any other user.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "edit comments".
-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED --------------------------------------------
* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Edit Limit 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Edit Limit [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
