[drupal-peru] [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2010-049 - Wordpress Import - Access bypass

[securi...@drupal.org]

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-049
* Project: Wordpress Import (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x
* Date: 2010-May-19
* Security risk: Highly Critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Access bypass

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

The Wordpress Import module provides the ability to import nodes from a
Wordpress WXR export file. The form to import a WXR file does not use the
correct access permission and allows any user to upload arbitrary files and
import data from a remote WRX file.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------

* Wordpress Import for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-2.1 including all
versions of 6.x-1.x.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Wordpress
Import [1] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version and revoke the "import wordpress blog" permission
from untrusted roles.
* If you use Wordpress Import 6.x-2.x or 6.x-1.x upgrade to Wordpress Import
6.x-2.1 [2]. The Wordpress Import 6.x-1.x branch is no longer maintained.

*Important note*: Only give fully trusted users the "import wordpress blog"
permission. Wordpress Import 6.x-2.1 still allows a user with that permission
to upload arbitrary files.
-------- REPORTED BY
---------------------------------------------------------

* Jennifer Hodgdon [3].

-------- FIXED BY
------------------------------------------------------------

* Yann Rocq [4], module maintainer.
* lavamind [5], module maintainer.
