Project: Drupal coreDate: 2020-September-16Security risk: Moderately critical 12∕25 AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:DefaultVulnerability: Access bypassCVE IDs: CVE-2020-13667Description: 

The experimental Workspaces module allows you to create multiple workspaces on your site in which draft content can be edited before being published to the live workspace.

The Workspaces module doesn't sufficiently check access permissions when switching workspaces, leading to an access bypass vulnerability. An attacker might be able to see content before the site owner intends people to see the content.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that sites are only vulnerable if they have installed the experimental Workspaces module.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

• If you are using Drupal 8.8.x, upgrade to Drupal 8.8.10.
• If you are using Drupal 8.9.x, upgrade to Drupal 8.9.6.
• If you are using Drupal 9.0.x, upgrade to Drupal 9.0.6.

Versions of Drupal 8 prior to 8.8.x are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. Sites on 8.7.x or earlier should update to 8.8.10.

Once a site running Workspaces is upgraded, authenticated users may continue to see unauthorized workspace content that they accessed previously until they are logged out.

If it is important for the unintended access to stop immediately, you may wish to end all active user sessions on your site (for example, by truncating the sessions table). Be aware that this will immediately log all users out and can cause side effects like lost user input.

Drupal 8 and 9 have a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability under certain circumstances.

An attacker could leverage the way that HTML is rendered for affected forms in order to exploit the vulnerability.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

The Drupal AJAX API does not disable JSONP by default, which can lead to cross-site scripting.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

• If you are using Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Drupal 7.73.
• If you are using Drupal 8.8.x, upgrade to Drupal 8.8.10.
• If you are using Drupal 8.9.x, upgrade to Drupal 8.9.6.
• If you are using Drupal 9.0.x, upgrade to Drupal 9.0.6.

Versions of Drupal 8 prior to 8.8.x are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. Sites on 8.7.x or earlier should update to 8.8.10.

If you were previously relying on Drupal's AJAX API to perform trusted JSONP requests, you'll either need to override the AJAX options to set "jsonp: true", or you'll need to use the jQuery AJAX API directly.

If you are using jQuery's AJAX API for user-provided URLs in a contrib or custom module, you should review your code and set "jsonp: false" where this is appropriate.

Updates

Drupal 7 sites should also pass such URLs through the new Drupal.sanitizeAjaxUrl() function.

The update to Drupal 7 is likely to cause a regression in AJAX functionality on sites which use jQuery 1.5 (for example via the jQuery Update module). This issue seems to specifically affect jQuery 1.5; the version included in Drupal 7 core (1.4.4) and versions 1.6 and later do not suffer from the regression.

Project: GroupVersion: 8.x-1.x-devDate: 2020-August-05Security risk: Moderately critical 11∕25 AC:None/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:UncommonVulnerability: Information disclosureDescription: 

The Group module enables you to hand out permissions on a smaller subset, section or community of your website.

Under very specific circumstances, where two group types support the same content, yet hand out different permissions, non-members of the first group type may use the set of permissions of the 2nd group type for the grouped content.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that you must already have a rare set-up and the two group types are configured in a way where one is more permissive than the other over the same type of content.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

• If you are using 8.x-1.0 or later, you should upgrade to 8.x-1.2.
• If you are using 8.x-1.0-rc5, that version is not affected by this issue. You can also consider upgrading to 8.x-1.2.

Project: Hostmaster (Aegir)Version: 7.x-3.x-devDate: 2020-July-29Security risk: Moderately critical 14∕25 AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:UncommonVulnerability: Access bypass, Arbitrary code executionDescription: 

Aegir is a powerful hosting system that sits alongside a LAMP or LEMP server to create, deploy and manage Drupal sites.

Given that

• Aegir can use both Apache and Nginx Web servers,
• Apache allows configuration-writing users to escalate their privileges to the superuser root, and
• Aegir's operations are performed by the GNU/Linux user aegir,

It follows that:

• Users with access to the aegir account can escalate their privileges to root.
• Any PHP code submitted through the front-end Web UI via enabling modules (such as PHP, Views PHP, and Computed Field) could be run as root though a cron hook implementation. (Aegir runs cron through the aegir user via Drush.)

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that

• an attacker must have access to the aegir account, and
• the Web server must be Apache.

While it was generally assumed that aegir access should only be provided to trusted users (i.e. users who also have access to root), this wasn't explicitly stated. The documentation has since been updated.

Solution: 

If you're running Aegir and have granted untrusted users access to the aegir account,

1. revoke aegir account access for users who you would not trust with root access,
2. disable any module functionality on the hosted Drupal sites that allows PHP code to be entered on the front-end Web UI. Computed Field, for example, can still be used safely by providing code from the back-end only. (See Stop allowing PHP from being entered on the Web UI for a plan to enforce this.)

We do not recommend switching to an Nginx Web server instead of revoking access. This is because there could be as-yet-unknown privilege-escalation exploits involving Nginx (as with any other piece of software).

Switching to Nginx

While not recommended, if this is something you'd like to do in addition to making the above change, we can offer some information on how to do it.

While there may eventually be a migration path to convert existing Apache installations to Nginx, the recommended approach is currently:

1. Set up a new Aegir installation using Nginx.
2. Remotely import sites from the original Apache server.
3. Decommission the original Apache server.

This module enables you to hand out permissions on a smaller subset, section or community of your website.

The module used to leverage the node grants system but turned it off in its recent 8.x-1.0 release in favor of a system that works for ALL entity types, not just nodes. By doing so, some regular node access checks turned from neutral into allowed because of the way the node grants system operates.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the victim must have the GroupNode plugin installed on their website and have no other hook_node_grants() implementations on their website aside from the one that was recently removed by Group. If you do not use the GroupNode plugin or still have hook_node_grants() implementing modules enabled, your site may not be affected.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

• If you are using 8.x-1.0-rc5 that version is not affected by this issue. You can also consider upgrading to 8.x-1.1
• If you are using 8.x-1.0 you should upgrade to 8.x-1.1

Project: Apigee EdgeVersion: 8.x-1.x-devDate: 2020-July-22Security risk: Moderately critical 10∕25 AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:DefaultVulnerability: Access bypassDescription: 

The Apigee Edge module allows connecting a Drupal site to Apigee Edge in order to build a developer portal. It contains an "Apigee Edge Teams" submodule that provides shared app functionality by allowing developers to be organized into teams.

The "Apigee Edge Teams" submodule has an information disclosure vulnerability. The "Add team member" form displays an email autocomplete field which can expose the email addresses of other accounts in the system.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that to have access to the form, the site must have the Apigee Edge Teams submodule enabled, and the user must have a team role that has the "Manage team members" permission. (Note that team roles and permissions are not related to Drupal core roles and permissions).

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

• If you use the apigee_edge_teams submodule for Drupal 8.x, upgrade to Apigee Edge module 8.x-1.12
