* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-075 * Project: Take Control [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-May-09 * Security risk: Critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to manage your Drupal file-system from within Drupal itself. The module does not sufficiently validate Ajax calls leading to possibility of a Cross Site Request Forgery CSRF attack. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must be able to guess your Drupal file-system root path exactly. Further, if your site follows the secure file-system permissions recommendations [3] and the web-server account does not have write access to Drupal root, only files/folders in Drupal's "files" directory are open to manipulation.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Take Control 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Take Control [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Take Control module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Take Control 6.x-2.2 [5]
Also see the Take Control [6] project page.
