CVE-2024-13270Network attack vector

Restricted-content disclosure via unchecked URL link rendering

Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Jan 31, 2025

Incorrect authorization in Drupal Freelinking before 4.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to discover restricted content URLs in rendered links. Node-related freelinking plugins render links to some content URLs without checking whether the requesting user is authorized to access the target. Exploitation requires the access content permission and a site configured to restrict content; the flaw exposes concealed links rather than granting broader modification rights.
