CVE-2013-1946: The RESTful Web Services (RESTWS) module 7.x-1.x before 7.x-1.3 and 7.x-2.x before 7.x-2.0-alpha5 for Drupa...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a denial-of-service issue in Drupal sites using the RESTful Web Services module. Under a specific configuration, anonymous visitors can send requests that disrupt Drupal page caching, potentially affecting site availability. The issue is configuration-dependent and no active exploitation is cited in the provided sources. Exposure is likely limited to Drupal 7 deployments running vulnerable RESTWS module versions with page caching enabled and anonymous RESTWS permissions assigned. Sites without RESTWS, without anonymous RESTWS permissions, or already updated to the named fixed versions are less likely to be exposed. Treat this as a targeted availability risk for older Drupal RESTWS deployments, not a broad enterprise emergency. Prioritize internet-facing Drupal 7 sites where downtime would affect revenue, operations, or customer trust. Mitigation focus: Update RESTWS to 7.x-1.3, 7.x-2.0-alpha5, or later as applicable.; Remove anonymous RESTWS permissions unless business-critical.; Review whether page caching is enabled on affected Drupal sites..
