Project: Taxonomy Manager [1]
Date: 2021-September-22
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 10∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Description: 
This module provides a powerful interface for managing a taxonomy vocabulary.
A vocabulary gets displayed in a dynamic tree view, where parent terms can be
expanded to list their nested child terms or can be collapsed.

The module does not take the correct user permissions into account, allowing
an attacker to delete and move terms.

The issue is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have permission to
create terms in the targeted vocabulary.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Taxonomy Manager module for Drupal 8 or 9, upgrade to
     Taxonomy Manager 2.0.6 [3]
