# Drupal Custom Formatters: unsafe privilege definitions allow privilege escalation

Drupal Custom Formatters defines privileges with unsafe actions, so a user can gain rights they should not have. An attacker with a low-privilege account could reach permissions reserved for administrators.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed `drupal/custom_formatters` version in `composer.lock` or with `composer show drupal/custom_formatters`
- Confirm whether the module is enabled on the site

## Fix

- Move Custom Formatters to a version later than `4.2.1` (the sources list all versions up to `4.2.1` as affected; the exact fixed version is unknown)
