CVE: CVE-2012-2296
Using Janrain Engage, Drupal sites can authenticate new and existing users with popular social networks, map user profile data from these websites to Drupal fields, and share Drupal content with a user’s friends on their social networks.
The module permanently retains the complete user profile data returned from Engage in the users table. Only a subset of that data is needed for a limited time. The profile data is also stored in the sessions table. This is undesirable as it may include sensitive information (such as provider access tokens).
This is not an immediate vulnerability per se as it does not create an attack vector (i.e. it cannot be exploited) but it makes other weaknesses much more critical (e.g. a data breach could be parlayed into privilege escalation).
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Janrain Engage (formerly RPX) module, there is nothing you need to do.
Install the latest version:
