Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Drupal AJAX Dashboard allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects AJAX Dashboard: from 0.0.0 before 3.1.0.
AnalysisAI
Drupal AJAX Dashboard versions before 3.1.0 fail to enforce authentication on critical AJAX endpoints, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass access controls and invoke privileged dashboard functions. The vulnerability affects all versions from 0.0.0 through 3.1.0 (exclusive) and is categorized as a Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306). No public exploit code or active exploitation via CISA KEV has been confirmed at time of analysis, but the authentication bypass nature of this defect presents significant risk to installations relying on dashboard security.
Technical ContextAI
The AJAX Dashboard module for Drupal (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:drupal:ajax_dashboard:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) implements AJAX-based endpoints for dashboard operations without properly validating user authentication state before processing requests. The root cause is classified as CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), a class of vulnerability where security-critical operations are accessible without credential verification. AJAX endpoints typically handle asynchronous data retrieval and state modification; when these endpoints lack authentication checks, attackers can craft HTTP requests directly to invoke protected actions. The vulnerability stems from improper access control configuration in the module's routing or permission system, allowing the module to process requests from unauthenticated sessions.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Drupal AJAX Dashboard to version 3.1.0 or later as indicated in the vendor security advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-022. This patch release fixes the missing authentication control on critical AJAX endpoints. Until patching is completed, administrators should disable or restrict access to the AJAX Dashboard module via web server configuration (e.g., Apache/.htaccess or nginx location blocks) to limit exposure to sensitive endpoints. Additionally, implement network-level access controls to restrict dashboard access to trusted IP ranges and apply Drupal's standard permission model to further minimize risk. Monitor Drupal logs for suspicious AJAX requests to dashboards endpoints as a temporary detection measure.
