Drupal has released a security advisory for the REST & JSON API Authentication module, highlighting a moderately critical access bypass vulnerability. The issue, reported by Arek Suchecki, affects versions below 2.0.13 and relates to insufficient user access control when using Basic Authentication. Users are advised to upgrade to version 2.0.13 immediately. The update was fixed by solideogloria, Shashank Thigale, and Arek Suchecki, with coordination from Greg Knaddison, Juraj Nemec, David Rothstein, and Michael Hess of the Drupal Security Team. The 8.x-1.x branch is no longer supported and users should migrate to the latest 2.0.x branch.
