SA-CONTRIB-2009-018 - Feed element mapper - Cross site scripting
by security-news＠drupal.org 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-018 * Project: Feed element mapper (third-party module) * Version: 5.x * Date: 2009-March-26 * Security risk: Less critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross-site scripting (XSS) -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- Feed element mapper is an Add-on module for FeedAPI that maps elements on a feed item such as tags or the author name to taxonomy or CCK fields. These mappings are configurable by point and click. The module doesn't correctly escape content titles enabling malicious users to insert arbitrary HTML and scripts into certain pages. Such a cross site scripting [1] (XSS) attack against sufficiently privileged users may lead to adminstrator access to the site. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Versions of Feed element mapper for Drupal 5.x prior to 5.x-1.1 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Feed element mapper module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use Feed element mapper for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Feed element mapper 5.x-1.1 [2] If you use one of the unsupported Feed element mapper 6.x-1.0 beta versions, upgrade to Feed element mapper 6.x-1.0-beta5 [3]. See also the Feed element mapper project page [4]. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- James Gilliand [5] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ Alex Barth [6] -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security contact for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [7].

SA-CONTRIB-2009-016 - Wikitools - Cross site scripting
by security-news＠drupal.org 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-016 * Project: Wikitools (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2009-March-25 * Security risk: Less critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross-site scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Wikitools module provides several options to get a more wiki-like behavior for Drupal. On several pages, the Wikitools module prints out a parameter without escaping it. Malicious users are thus able to execute a cross site scripting [1] (XSS) attack when they entice users to visit a specifically crafted URL. This may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Wikitools 5.x-1.x prior to 5.x-1.3 * Wikitools 6.x-1.x prior to 6.x-1.1 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Wikitools module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use Wikitools 5.x-1.x upgrade to Wikitools 5.x-1.3 [2] * If you use Wikitools 6.x-1.x upgrade to Wikitools 6.x-1.1 [3] See also the Wikitools project page [4]. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- Charlie Gordon [5] of the Drupal Security Team [6]. -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ Charlie Gordon [7] of the Drupal Security Team [8]. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security contact for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact.

25 Mar '09

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-015 * Project: Token authentication (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2009-March-25 * Security risk: Less critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Token authentication module allows access to RSS feeds via a token without having to provide your username and password to the site. Token authentication did not properly use the Drupal Form API which would allow a malicious user to learn the site administrator's token giving them the ability to read any nodes on the site via an RSS feed. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Token authentication 6.x-1.x prior to 6.x-1.1 Token authentication for Drupal 5.x is not affected by this vulnerability. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Token authentication module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Upgrade to the latest version: * If you use Token authentication 6.x-1.x upgrade to Token authentication 6.x-1.1 [1] See also the Token authentication project page [2]. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- Stéphane Corlosquet [3] of the Drupal Security Team [4]. -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ Stéphane Corlosquet [5] of the Drupal Security Team [6]. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security contact for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact.

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-012 * Project: Printer, e-mail and PDF versions (third-party module) * Versions: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2009 March 18 * Security risk: Highly Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Unrestricted e-mailing (spam) The "Send by e-mail" module, part of the "Printer, e-mail and PDF versions" project, allows users to send e-mail messages while viewing content on the site. This module was found to have multiple vulnerabilities. -------- UNRESTRICTED E-MAILING (SPAM) --------------------------------------- Due to improper use of Drupal's flood control API, it is possible for spammers or spambots to send an unlimited numbers of e-mails using the "Send by e-mail" module. This vulnerability is very similar to the recent vulnerability found in the Forward module and reported in SA-CONTRIB-2009-009 [1]. The security team has received reports of this vulnerability being actively exploited on production sites using the Forward module. In addition, when sending out e-mails in HTML format, some content is not properly filtered, allowing malicious users to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into these e-mails. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Versions of "Printer, e-mail and PDF versions" 5.x prior to 5.x-4.4 * Versions of "Printer, e-mail and PDF versions" 6.x prior to 6.x-1.4 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed "Printer, e-mail and PDF versions" module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use "Printer, e-mail and PDF versions" 5.x upgrade to Printer, e-mail and PDF versions 5.x-4.4 [2] * If you use "Printer, e-mail and PDF versions" 6.x upgrade to Printer, e-mail and PDF versions 6.x-1.4 [3] -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- João Ventura, the "Printer, e-mail and PDF versions" project maintainer -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ João Ventura, with assistance from James Gilliand and David Rothstein of the Drupal security team -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security contact for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [4].

by security-news＠drupal.org 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-011 * Project: Tasklist (third-party module) * Version: 5.x * Date: 2009 March 18 * Security risk: Highly critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: SQL injection and Cross-site scripting (XSS) -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- Tasklist does not properly use the Drupal database API and inserts values from the URL directly into queries. This can be exploited to perform SQL Injection attacks [1]. These attacks may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrator access. In addition, Tasklist allows users to add CSS to pages. This CSS was not restricted or filtered, allowing malicious users to insert arbitrary HTML and script code into these pages. Such a cross site scripting [2] (XSS) attack may also lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Tasklist 5.x-1.x prior to 5.x-1.3 * Tasklist 5.x-2.x prior to 5.x-2.0-alpha1 Drupal core is not affected.

New pages and RSS feeds for security announcements
by security-news＠drupal.org 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

-------- SEPARATE SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENTS BY TYPE ----------------------------- To make the impact of different security advisories and announcements easier to see, they are now separated by type. Drupal core security advisories: http://drupal.org/security [1] RSS feed for Drupal core: http://drupal.org/security/rss.xml [2] Contributed project security advisories: http://drupal.org/security/contrib [3] RSS feed for contributed projects: http://drupal.org/security/contrib/rss.xml [4] Public service announcements: http://drupal.org/security/psa [5] RSS feed for announcements: http://drupal.org/security/psa/rss.xml [6] /We encourage those using RSS readers to track security-related developments to subscribe to all three of these feeds./ All posts to each of these three forums will still be sent to the one security announcements e-mail list. To subscribe to that e-mail list, once logged in, go to your user profile page and subscribe to the security newsletter on the Edit » My newsletters tab. All future public service announcements will only be posted to the /Public service announcements/ page and feed. -------- BACKGROUND ON THE CHANGES ------------------------------------------- At Drupalcon in Washington, D.C. earlier this month, members of the Security team held a "Birds of a Feather" session to discusses various topics including improvements to our process of communicating with the public. One outcome of this meeting was that we decided to more clearly differentiate among security advisories for Drupal core (which affect all users) as opposed to security advisories for contributed projects (which are often used by only tens of sites). In addition, the security team has on occasion issued announcements (such as this one), which were previously mixed in with actual security advisories. Since the Drupal 6.x upgrade of http://drupal.org [7], newsletter postings have been managed using forums. The security team has thus split security-related postings among three forums under http://drupal.org/forum/1188 [8]. All past and new advisories and announcements and their feeds can be viewed (via tabs) on http://drupal.org/security [9]. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [10].
