## What is DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2021-044?

DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2021-044 is a missing authorization vulnerability in drupal/openid_connect_windows_aad, published on 17 Nov 2021. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

This module enables users to authenticate through their Microsoft Azure AD account.

The module does not sufficiently check authorization before updating user profile information in certain non-default configurations. This could lead a user being able to hijack another existing account.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have knowledge of user accounts that have the administrator role or accounts with the 'Set a password for local authentication' permission. In addition the site must be configured with the 'Update email address in user profile' setting turned on.

What it is: DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2021-044 is a missing authorization vulnerability in drupal/openid_connect_windows_aad, published on 17 Nov 2021. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2021-044 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: drupal/openid_connect_windows_aad. 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.
