DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Drupal Webform REST allows Forceful Browsing. This issue affects Webform REST versions: from 0.0.0 to 4.1.0.

AnalysisAI

Authorization bypass in the Drupal Webform REST contrib module (all versions from 0.0.0 up to and including 4.1.0) lets remote unauthenticated attackers reach REST resources they should not be able to access through forceful browsing. Because the module fails to properly enforce access checks on its endpoints, an attacker can read and potentially manipulate webform data or submissions guarded only by obscurity. …
