  • Project: Taxonomy Manager (third-party module)
  • Version: 6.x, 7.x
  • Date: 2013-February-20
  • Security risk: Moderately critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

Description

The Taxonomy Manager provides an advanced interface for administrating taxonomy vocabularies.

The module doesn't sufficiently verify POST requests thereby exposing a Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must trick a user with 'administer taxonomy' permissions onto a prepared page with a site-specific malicious HTML form submission.
