## What is DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-038?

DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-038 is a missing authorization vulnerability in drupal/quick_node_clone, published on 4 May 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

The module adds a "Clone" tab to a node. When clicked, a new node is created and fields from the previous node are populated into the new fields. This module supports paragraphs, groups, and other referenced entities.

The module has a vulnerability which allows attackers to bypass the protection to clone any group content with an access check. Users are allowed to copy other group's nodes, and if they do that, the node gets added to groups they don't have access to.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact it only affects sites that also use the Groups contributed module.

Check this codebase for DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-038 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-038 is a missing authorization vulnerability in drupal/quick_node_clone, published on 4 May 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-038 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: drupal/quick_node_clone. 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.
