CVE-2012-1643: The Faster Permissions module 7.x-2.x before 7.x-1.2 for Drupal does not check the "administer permissions"...

Security readout for executives and security teams

A Drupal site using the Faster Permissions contributed module could let a remote attacker change access permissions without having the required administrative permission. That can alter who can perform privileged actions. The source bundle does not show active exploitation, CVSS, or detailed exploit vectors, but the business impact is serious for exposed legacy Drupal 7 deployments using this module. Exposure is likely limited to Drupal 7 sites with the Faster Permissions contributed module installed and enabled at an affected version. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so vulnerability managers should confirm module presence and version from Drupal code, package records, or administrative inventories. Prioritize remediation for any internet-facing Drupal 7 site using this module, especially sites supporting customer data, publishing workflows, or privileged operations. If the module is absent, this CVE is not directly applicable. Mitigation focus: Identify all Drupal sites using the Faster Permissions module.; Upgrade to the Drupal-fixed module release identified by vendor guidance.; Disable the module if it is not required..
