Project: Advanced Varnish [1]
Date: 2024-August-28
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14∕25
AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Affected versions: <4.0.11
Description: 
This module enables you to cache pages for logged in users at the Varnish
level.

The Varnish bin names may be guessable when no hashing noise configuration is
set on the module configuration page, which would ultimately allow any user
to view cached pages that were intended for other roles when guessing such a
bin name.

Solution: 
*There are two steps.* Install the latest version and update your
configuration:

   1) If you use the Advanced Varnish module for Drupal 4.0.x, upgrade to
      Advanced Varnish 4.0.11 [3]
   2) Go to the module configuration page and set an appropriate value to the
      hashing noise configuration.
