Information At A Glance

Source Version/Dependency Developer Severity
http://drupal.org/node/1394428 Version: 6.x, 7.x drupal.org/project/fillpdf Moderately Critical

Summary:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the Fill PDF module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system and by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
1) An error due to a missing argument in the “fillpdf_merge_pdf()” function in fillpdf.module can be exploited to bypass the authorization mechanism via a specially crafted web request. This vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 7.x-1.2. 2) Input passed via imported templates is not properly sanitized in the “fillpdf_form_export_decode()” function in fillpdf.admin.inc before being used in an “eval()” call. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the “administer PDFs” permission. This vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 6.x-1.16 and versions prior to 7.x-1.2.
  Fix:
If you use the Fill PDF module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Fill PDF 6.x-1.16. If you use the Fill PDF module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Fill PDF 7.x-1.2.
