## What is DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2017-091?

DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2017-091 is a vulnerability in drupal/config_update, published on 6 Dec 2017. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

The Configuration Update Reports sub-module in the Configuration Update module project enables you to run reports to see what configuration on your site differs from the configuration distributed by a module, theme, or installation profile, and to revert, delete, or import configuration.

This module doesn't sufficiently protect the Import operation, thereby exposing a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability which can be exploited by unprivileged users to trick an administrator into unwanted import of configuration.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only configuration items distributed with a module, theme, or installation profile that is currently installed and enabled on the site can be imported, not arbitrary configuration values.

Check this codebase for DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2017-091 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2017-091 is a vulnerability in drupal/config_update, published on 6 Dec 2017. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2017-091 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: drupal/config_update. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
