This module enables you to specify a certain level of password complexity (aka. “password hardening”) for user passwords on a system by defining a policy.
CVE: CVE-2012-1633
Unblocking a user does not require sufficient confirmation by administrative users and can be exploited with a specially crafted URL.
CVE: CVE-2012-1632
The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize the name of password policies. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “administer policies”.
This issue also affects the 7.x branch which is only in beta release. Users of non-stable releases are encouraged to upgrade frequently as those releases are not covered by the Drupal Security Team policy.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Password policy module, there is nothing you need to do.
Install the latest version:
Clear the site’s cache:
visit Administer > Site Configuration > Performance and click “Clear cached data.”
