* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-049 * Project: Wordpress Import (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2010-May-19 * Security risk: Highly Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

The Wordpress Import module provides the ability to import nodes from a Wordpress WXR export file. The form to import a WXR file does not use the correct access permission and allows any user to upload arbitrary files and import data from a remote WRX file. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------

* Wordpress Import for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-2.1 including all versions of 6.x-1.x.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Wordpress Import [1] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version and revoke the "import wordpress blog" permission from untrusted roles. * If you use Wordpress Import 6.x-2.x or 6.x-1.x upgrade to Wordpress Import 6.x-2.1 [2]. The Wordpress Import 6.x-1.x branch is no longer maintained.

*Important note*: Only give fully trusted users the "import wordpress blog" permission. Wordpress Import 6.x-2.1 still allows a user with that permission to upload arbitrary files. -------- REPORTED BY ---------------------------------------------------------

* Jennifer Hodgdon [3].

-------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------

* Yann Rocq [4], module maintainer. * lavamind [5], module maintainer.
