CVE-2024-13255 is an Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Data Queries vulnerability in the Drupal RESTful Web Services module, enabling forceful browsing. This issue affects RESTful Web Services versions from 7.X-2.0 before 7.X-2.10. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-202 and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating high confidentiality impact with no effect on integrity or availability.
Remote attackers require only network access and can exploit the vulnerability without privileges or user interaction due to its low attack complexity. Successful exploitation allows disclosure of sensitive information through crafted data queries targeting the RESTful endpoints.
The Drupal security advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2024-019 details mitigation steps, with the issue resolved in RESTful Web Services version 7.X-2.10. Site administrators should update to this or later versions to address the vulnerability.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-23 directly requires mechanisms to protect against unauthorized data mining and inference from statistical queries that would expose sensitive information.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Least-privilege query permissions directly limit the data an attacker can request or infer.
Behavior analytics on query activity can detect inference attempts but does not prevent exposure at query time.
Protecting data-in-use reduces what remains available for inference via queries.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Access control limits who can run queries that could expose sensitive information via inference.
Granular access rights reduce the ability of users to craft inference queries.
Data masking prevents inference by obscuring sensitive values returned in query results.
Information access restriction directly limits query scope that could lead to inference.
Classification helps identify sensitive data that must be protected from inference attacks.
DLP can detect and block queries or result sets that risk exposing sensitive information.
