Drupal 6.x < 6.36 OpenID Security Bypass

medium Nessus Plugin ID 84291

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is running a PHP application that is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

The remote web server is running a version of Drupal that is 6.x prior to 6.36. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a security bypass vulnerability due to a flaw in the OpenID module. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to log in as other users, including administrators. Note that victims must have an existing OpenID account from a particular set of OpenID providers including, but not limited to, Verisign, LiveJournal, or StackExchange.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Drupal version 6.36 or later.
