Security Bypass

This covers vulnerabilities or security issues where malicious users or people can bypass certain security mechanisms of the application.

The actual impact varies significantly depending on the design and purpose of the affected application.

A security issue has been reported in the Contact Forms module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the module not properly restricting access to the Contact Form settings and can be exploited to edit the settings.

Successful exploitation requires the "access the site-wide contact form" permission.

The security issue is reported in 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

Update to version 7.x-1.3.
