SA-CONTRIB-2013-018 - Taxonomy Manager - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

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.

Versions affected

• Taxonomy Manager 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2.
