Summary

Drupal 6.x before 6.35 and 7.x before 7.35 allows remote authenticated users to reset the password of other accounts by leveraging an account with the same password hash as another account and a crafted password reset URL.

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.

    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.
    This vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without any
    kind of authentication required (CVE-2014-3704).
    
    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).
