  • Disclosed: 17.05.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 12:17

The system.temporary route in Drupal 8.x before 8.1.10 does not properly check for "Export configuration" permission, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and read a full config export via unspecified vectors.
