[security-news at drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-110
  * Project: Drupal For Firebug (third-party module)
  * Version: 5.x, 6.x
  * Date: 2010-Dec-15
  * Security risk: Critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross-site Request Forgery

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

The Drupal For Firebug module allows developers to use Firebug to get
debugging information about their Drupal installation.

The module does not properly protect the form used to submit PHP code against
Cross-site Request Forgeries (CSRF [1]), allowing a malicious user to trick
an authorized user into executing arbitrary PHP code.

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

  * Drupal For Firebug 5.x versions prior to 5.x-1.5
  * Drupal For Firebug 6.x versions prior to 6.x-1.4

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Drupal For
Firebug [2] module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use Drupal For Firebug 5.x, upgrade to Drupal For Firebug 5.x-1.5
    [3]
  * If you use Drupal For Firebug 6.x, upgrade to Drupal For Firebug 6.x-1.4
    [4]
