Values - Critical - Arbitrary PHP code execution - SA-CONTRIB-2015-172

This module enables you to create key|value pairs for use in list fields, webforms etc.

The module includes an import page that runs eval() on an exported code block (ctools), but the permission for the page does not warn about security concerns of importing raw php code like this (trusted permission).

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “import value sets”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

• CVE-2015-8761
