Description

The RESTful Web Services (restws) module 7.x-1.x before 7.x-1.4 and 7.x-2.x before 7.x-2.1 for Drupal does not properly restrict access to entity write operations, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users with the "access resource node" and "create page content" permissions (or equivalents) to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) or execute arbitrary PHP code via a crafted text field.

Affected products

• RESTful Web Services: from 7.x-1.0 before 7.x-1.4; from 7.x-2.0 before 7.x-2.1; 7.x-2.x-dev — fixed in 7.x-1.4, 7.x-2.1

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: RESTful Web Services 7.x-1.4, 7.x-2.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
