Project: User hash [1]
Date: 2021-September-22
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 12∕25
AC:Complex/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cache poisoning

Description: 
This module enables you to create an individual hash for each user. These
hashes can be used for authentication instead of the user's password, e.g.
for views exporters.

The module doesn't sufficiently invalidate page output when the page_cache
module is used.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a user
hash that grants access to specific content and the attack must be timed to
the reset of the page cache.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the user_hash module for Drupal 8 or 9, upgrade to User Hash
     2.0.1 [3]
