* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-135 * Project: CAPTCHA [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2011-August-29 * Security risk: Less critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to protect website forms using a CAPTCHA. A CAPTCHA is a test which attempts to differentiate between a human and an automated bot or script.
The module doesn't ensure that test submissions have a single-use unique token. This means that web robots could reuse a single successful submission multiple times, reducing the effectiveness of the protection.
CVE: Requested
