Drupal Multiple Module $_SESSION Manipulation CAPTCHA Bypass

medium Nessus Plugin ID 24264

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of Drupal installed on the remote host includes at least one third-party module that adds a captcha to various forms (e.g. user registration) that is affected by a security bypass vulnerability. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted 'edit[captcha_response]' parameter, can bypass modules designed to protect from automated abuse.
