Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Embedding Scripts within Scripts An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities that are brought on by allowing remote hosts to execute scripts. The attacker leverages this capability to execute scripts to execute his/her own script by embedding it within other scripts that the target software is likely to execute. The attacker must have the ability to inject script into script that is likely to be executed. If this is done, then the attacker can potentially launch a variety of probes and attacks against the web server's local environment, in many cases the so-called DMZ, back end resources the web server can communicate with, and other hosts. With the proliferation of intermediaries, such as Web App Firewalls, network devices, and even printers having JVMs and Web servers, there are many locales where an attacker can inject malicious scripts. Since this attack pattern defines scripts within scripts, there are likely privileges to execute said attack on the host. Of course, these attacks are not solely limited to the server side, client side scripts like Ajax and client side JavaScript can contain malicious scripts as well. In general all that is required is for there to be sufficient privileges to execute a script, but not protected against writing.
- Signature Spoofing by Key Theft An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by theft and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

When pages are cached for anonymous users, form state may leak between anonymous users. Sensitive or private information recorded for one anonymous user could thus be disclosed to other users interacting with the same form at the same time (CVE-2014-2983). Multiple security issues in Drupal before 7.29, including a denial of service issue, an access bypass issue in the File module, and multiple cross-site scripting issues (CVE-2014-5019, CVE-2014-5020, CVE-2014-5021, CVE-2014-5022). A denial of service issue exists in Drupal before 7.31, due to XML entity expansion in a publicly accessible XML-RPC endpoint. A SQL Injection issue exists in Drupal before 7.32 due to the way the Drupal core handles prepared statements. A malicious user can inject arbitrary SQL queries, and thereby completely control the Drupal site.

Aaron Averill discovered that a specially crafted request can give a user access to another user's session, allowing an attacker to hijack a random session (CVE-2014-9015). Michael Cullum, Javier Nieto and Andres Rojas Guerrero discovered that the password hashing API allows an attacker to send specially crafted requests resulting in CPU and memory exhaustion. This may lead to the site becoming unavailable or unresponsive (denial of service) (CVE-2014-9016). anonymous users (CVE-2014-9016). Password reset URLs can be forged under certain circumstances, allowing an attacker to gain access to another user's account without knowing the account's password (CVE-2015-2559). Under certain circumstances, malicious users can construct a URL that will trick users into being redirected to a 3rd party website, thereby exposing the users to potential social engineering attacks. In addition, several URL-related API functions in Drupal 6 and 7 can be tricked into passing through external URLs when not intending to, potentially leading to additional open redirect vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-2749, CVE-2015-2750).
