• Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-075
  • Project: Take Control (third-party module)
  • Version: 6.x
  • Date: 2012-May-09
  • Security risk: Critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

Description

CVE: CVE-2012-2341

This module enables you to manage your Drupal file-system from within Drupal itself.
The module does not sufficiently validate Ajax calls leading to possibility of a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must be able to guess your Drupal file-system root path exactly. Further, if your site follows the secure file-system permissions recommendations and the web-server account does not have write access to Drupal root, only files/folders in Drupal's "files" directory are open to manipulation.

Versions affected

  • Take Control 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Take Control module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:
