Problem/Motivation

system.timezone route is accessible to everyone due to requirements check _access: 'TRUE'. Though this route does not return user sensitive data, prevent access to it if the user doesn't need it.

Proposed resolution

Perhaps abuse CSRF tokens?!

Remaining tasks

  • Patch
  • Changelog for any sites using this route not via timezone.es6.js, unlikely?

User interface changes

None.

API changes

Provide documentation/changelog for how to update code to new solution.

    It makes Drupal less vulnerable to abuse or misuse. Note, this is the preferred tag, though the Security tag has a large body of issues tagged to it. Do NOT publicly disclose security vulnerabilities; contact the security team instead. Anyone (whether security team or not) can apply this tag to security improvements that do not directly present a vulnerability e.g. hardening an API to add filtering to reduce a common mistake in contributed modules.

    I agree we should try to avoid _access: 'TRUE' but this route does not return anything sensitive so I am not sure why and how we should protect it.

    +1 for @prudloff.

    If you grep there are several routes with _access: 'TRUE' as appropriate.

    grep -rni \_access: core/modules/*/*.routing.yml | grep -i TRUE

    There are several routes
