* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-067
* Project: BOTCHA Spam Prevention [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 7.x
* Date: 2013-August-14
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Information Disclosure
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
BOTCHA is a highly configurable non-CAPTCHA spam protection framework. The
module includes a debug mode which logs the content of submitted forms
including passwords and other sensitive information. An attacker who gains
access to the log (i.e. dblog or syslog depending on configuration) could get
access to usernames and passwords or other sensitive information. The
vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the debugging level must be set
to level 5 or 6 (a high level) and the attacker must gain access to the logs
(i.e. "access site reports" permission or access to syslog).
If you debug level 5 or 6 enabled on a production site, you should consider
expiring passwords and instruct users to change their passwords.
