* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-162
* Project: RESTful Web Services [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 7.x
* Date: 2012-November-14
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to expose Drupal entities as RESTful web services. It
provides a machine-readable interface to exchange resources in JSON, XML and
RDF.
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 an
authenticated user onto a page with a site-specific malicious HTML form
submission.
CVE: Requested
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------
* RESTWS 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1.
* RESTWS 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.0-alpha3.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed RESTful Web
Services [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION

* If you use the RESTWS 1.x module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to RESTWS 7.x-1.1
