Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-1638 affects the Drupal Search Autocomplete contributed module before 7.x-2.1. A logged-in user with the “use search_autocomplete” permission could trigger SQL injection and run arbitrary database commands. This is most urgent for legacy Drupal 7 sites still using the vulnerable module version. Exposure is limited to Drupal installations using the Search Autocomplete module before 7.x-2.1 where users can authenticate and hold the “use search_autocomplete” permission. Treat as high priority for any remaining Drupal 7 environment using this module. Business risk is concentrated in legacy web properties with authenticated user access and outdated contributed modules. Mitigation focus: Upgrade the Search Autocomplete module to 7.x-2.1 or later.; Review Drupal security advisory guidance for this module.; Remove unnecessary “use search_autocomplete” permission from roles..
