- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-141
- Project: Mass Contact (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-September-12
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
This module allows anyone with permission to send a single message to multiple users of a site, using its roles functionality.
The module doesn't sufficiently check permissions after the form has been submitted.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must use a tool of some kind (like the Tamper Data Firefox add-on) to intercept the form submission request in order to modify the settings.
CVE: Requested
