What is DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-047?

DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-047 is a missing authorization vulnerability in drupal/config_terms, published on 29 Jun 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

This module enables you to create and manage a version of taxonomy based on configuration entities instead of content. This allows the terms, vocabularies, and their structure to be exported, imported, and managed as site configuration.

The module doesn't sufficiently check access for the edit and delete operations. Users with "access content" permission can edit or delete any term. The edit form may expose term data that users could not otherwise see, since there is no term view route by default.

This vulnerability is slightly mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "access content", so may not be accessible to anonymous users on all sites.
