* Advisory ID: SA-CONTRIB-2012-107 * Project: Search Autocomplete [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2012-July-11 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass

-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------

This module allows you to add autocomplete functionality to virtually any fields of a Drupal site. The module doesn't sufficiently protect access to the module admin page. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the user can only access the page, disable an autocompletion or change priority order.

CVE: Requested

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------

* Search Autocomplete 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.4.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Search Autocomplete [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

* If you use the Search Autocomplete module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Search Autocomplete 7.x-2.4 [4]

Also see the Search Autocomplete [5] project page.
