Project: Diff [1]
Date: 2024-October-02
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 11 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass, Information Disclosure

Affected versions: <1.8.0 || >=2.0.0 <2.0.0-beta3
Description: 
This module adds a tab for sufficiently permissioned users. The tab shows all
revisions like standard Drupal but it also allows pretty viewing of all
added/changed/deleted words between revisions.

The module doesn't sufficiently check revision access before rendering a diff
report for 1) nodes or 2) general entities that support diff.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission from the general node permission to "view all revisions",
one of the more specific node type permissions, "view %bundle revisions" or
the equivalent for other general entity types.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Diff module for Drupal, upgrade to Diff 8.x-1.8 [3]
