Drupal's File Entity Module Addresses XSS and Access Bypass Risks
Drupal's File Entity module faces a security alert due to moderately critical vulnerabilities (risk score: 14/25), including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Access Bypass issues. Stemming from inadequate file validation during replacement, these vulnerabilities pose a potential risk for persistent XSS exploits.
However, the threat is mitigated by the prerequisite for an attacker to hold file-editing permissions. The recommended solution is a swift upgrade to File Entity 7.x-2.38 for users on Drupal 7.x.
Reported by Caroline Boyden and resolved by security contributors Joseph Olstad and Sascha Grossenbacher, the Drupal Security Team, under Damien McKenna and Greg Knaddison's leadership, ensures a coordinated response to implement the crucial security patch promptly.
