Project: Drupal core [1]
Date: 2022-February-16
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 12∕25
AC:None/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Information disclosure

Description: 
The Quick Edit module does not properly check entity access in some
circumstances. This could result in users with the "access in-place editing"
permission viewing some content they are are not authorized to access.

Sites are only affected if the QuickEdit module (which comes with the
Standard profile) is installed.

This advisory is not covered by Drupal Steward [3].

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you are using Drupal 9.3, update to Drupal 9.3.6 [4].
   * If you are using Drupal 9.2, update to Drupal 9.2.13 [5].

All versions of Drupal 9 prior to 9.2.x are end-of-life and do not receive
security coverage. Note that Drupal 8 has reached its end of life [6].

Drupal 7 core does not include the QuickEdit module and therefore is not
affected.

Uninstalling the QuickEdit module will also mitigate the vulnerability. Site
owners may wish to consider this option as the QuickEdit module will be
removed from core in Drupal 10 [7].
