  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-029
  * Project: Keys (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2010-March-17
  * Security risk: Less Critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross-site Request Forgery

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

The Keys module provides management of various API keys. The module is
vulnerable to cross-site request forgeries (CSRF [1]) via the keys delete
form. This would allow a malicious user to trick an admin with the
"administer keys" permission into deleting keys by directing them to the url
via link or image src, etc.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * Keys for Drupal 6.x prior to Keys 6.x-2.0

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Keys module
for Drupal 6.x, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION  
------------------------------------------------------------

Upgrade to the latest version:
  * If you use Keys for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Keys 6.x-2.0 [2] or simply
    disable the Keys module. Be sure to backup saved keys prior to upgrade.

See also the Keys project page [3].
