[security-news at drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-068
  * Project: Masquerade (third-party module)
  * Version: 5.x, 6.x
  * Date: 2010-June-23
  * Security risk: Not critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

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

The masquerade module is designed as a tool for site designers and
administrators, allowing a user with the right permissions to temporarily
masquerade as another user. The module is vulnerable to Cross Site Request
Forgeries (CSRF [1]) via the masquerade/switch and masquerade/unswitch paths.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * The unsupported Masquerade module for Drupal 5.x versions
  * Masquerade module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-1.4

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

Install the latest version:
  * If you use the unsupported Masquerade module for Drupal 5.x, either
    disable the module or upgrade to the latest 6.x versions of Drupal core
    and the Masquerade module.
  * If you use the Masquerade module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Masquerade
    6.x-1.4 [3]

See also the Masquerade project page [4].
