View online: https://www.drupal.org/node/2862986 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-0XX * Project: Linkit- Enriched linking experience [1] (third-party module) * Version: 8.x * Date: 2017-March-22 * Security risk: 10/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2] * Vulnerability: Access bypass -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- Linkit provides an easy interface for internal and external linking with WYSIWYG editors by using an autocomplete field. When searching for entities, this module doesn't always enforce the access restrictions and users may see information about entities they should not be able to access. This is mitigated by the fact that a user must have access to a text format that uses Linkit. -------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED -------------------------------------------- * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./ -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Linkit 8.x-4.x versions prior to 8.x-4.3. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Linkit- Enriched linking experience [4] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Linkit module for Drupal 8.x, upgrade to Linkit 8.x-4.3 [5] Also see the Linkit- Enriched linking experience [6] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Ben Dougherty [7] of the Drupal Security Team -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Emil Stjerneman [8] the module maintainer * Ben Dougherty [9] of the Drupal Security Team -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Michael Hess [10] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at https://www.drupal.org/contact [11].
