## What is DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2021-045?

DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2021-045 is a missing authorization vulnerability in drupal/webform, published on 8 Dec 2021. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

### Access Bypass:

This module enables you to build forms and surveys in Drupal.

The module doesn't sufficiently check access for administrative features for webforms attached to nodes using the Webform Node module. This may reveal submitted data or allow an attacker to modify submitted data. Additionally, for sites with webforms that send emails and store submissions this vulnerability would allow an attacker to use the site as an email relay (i.e. sending arbitrary emails).

There is no mitigation for this vulnerability. If you have the Webform Node module enabled you must update the Webform module.

### Cross Site Scripting:

The Webform module enables site builders to create forms and surveys.

The Webform module doesn't sufficiently filter HTML when an element's 'Help title' and an 'Image Select' element's image text contain specially crafted malicious text.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must be able to create or edit webforms.

Check this codebase for DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2021-045 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2021-045 is a missing authorization vulnerability in drupal/webform, published on 8 Dec 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-2021-045 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: drupal/webform. 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.
