* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-162 * Project: RESTful Web Services [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2012-November-14 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to expose Drupal entities as RESTful web services. It provides a machine-readable interface to exchange resources in JSON, XML and RDF.
The module doesn't sufficiently verify POST requests thereby exposing a Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must trick an authenticated user onto a page with a site-specific malicious HTML form submission.
CVE: Requested
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* RESTWS 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1. * RESTWS 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.0-alpha3.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed RESTful Web Services [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
