Project: Open Social [1]
Date: 2019-November-06
Security risk: *Critical* 15∕25
AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Insecure Session Management

Description: 
Open Social is a Drupal distribution for online communities. The included
social_magic_login module doesn't sufficiently validate magic login URLs for
user accounts that do not have a local password, but login via external
systems. The lack of validation makes it possible for an adversary to forge
valid login URLs and login to such an account.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact the module social_magic_login
needs to be enabled.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Open Social distribution for Drupal 8.x-7.x, upgrade to
     open social 8.x-7.1 [3]
   * If you use the Open Social distribution for Drupal 8.x-6.x, upgrade to
     open social 8.x-6.5 [4]

Alternatively, disable the module social_magic_login.
