Discussion

Drupal Arbitrary File Upload and Session Fixation Vulnerabilities

Drupal is prone to an arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability and a session-fixation vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit these issues to upload arbitrary files onto the webserver, hijack arbitrary sessions, and gain unauthorized access to the affected application. Other attacks are also possible.

The session-fixation vulnerability affects Drupal 5.x; the arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability affects Drupal 6.x.
