View online: http://drupal.org/node/2007048 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-048 * Project: Edit Limit [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2013-May-29 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- Edit Limit enables you to set time and count-based limits on how and when a user can edit nodes or comments. The module doesn't sufficiently check user access when editing comments to see if the user has the necessary permissions to edit a comment outside of the limits applied by this module. This makes it possible for a user who can edit their own comments to edit the comments of any other user. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "edit comments". -------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED -------------------------------------------- * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./ -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Edit Limit 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Edit Limit [4] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Edit Limit module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Edit Limit 7.x-1.3 [5] Also see the Edit Limit [6] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Morten Fangel [7] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Quade [8] the module maintainer * Morten Fangel [9] -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Greg Knaddison [10] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [11].
