[security-news at drupal.org]

View online: http://drupal.org/node/1922410

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-018
  * Project: Taxonomy Manager [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x, 7.x
  * Date: 2013-February-20
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

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

The Taxonomy Manager provides an advanced interface for administrating
taxonomy vocabularies.

The module doesn't sufficiently verify POST requests thereby exposing a Cross
Site Request Forgery vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must trick a
user with 'administer taxonomy' permissions onto a prepared page with a
site-specific malicious HTML form submission.


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED  
--------------------------------------------

  * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
    accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

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

  * Taxonomy Manager 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2.
  * Taxonomy Manager 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.0-rc1.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Taxonomy
Manager [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION

  * If you use the Taxonomy Manager module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Taxonomy
    Manager 6.x-2.3 [5]
  * If you use the Taxonomy Manager module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Taxonomy
    Manager 7.x-1.0-rc2 [6]
