Two vulnerabilities and weaknesses were discovered in the contributed Image Assist module. .... Cross site scripting The node title is treated as if it was safe text, and is not escaped before being output. A user with sufficient permissions to create image nodes could insert malicious script code into the title field. Any user with access to the Image Assist properties page or any user viewing an embedded image in a popup is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. Wikipedia has more information about such cross site scripting [1] (XSS) attacks. .... Information disclosure Some pages of the module do not properly check for required access permissions, allowing unprivileged users to view the title and body of arbitrary nodes. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Image Assist for Drupal 5.x-1.x before version 5.x-1.8 * Image Assist for Drupal 5.x-2.x before version 2.0-alpha4 * Image Assist for Drupal 6.x-1.x before version 6.x-1.1 * Image Assist for Drupal 6.x-2.x before version 2.0-alpha4 * Image Assist for Drupal 6.x-3.x-dev before 2009-07-15 Drupal core is not affected.

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-041 * Project: Nodequeue (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2009-July-08 * Security risk: Not critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Nodequeue module enables an administrator to arbitrarily put nodes in a group with an arbitrary order for any purpose, such as providing a listing of nodes or featuring a particular node. On the queue administration screen, users with permission to manipulate a queue are presented with an autocomplete textfield that allows them to type the title of a node and add it to a queue. This textfield fails to restrict unpublished node titles from being displayed to users who lack the 'administer content' permission, allowing unprivileged users to view the title of unpublished nodes. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Nodequeue 6.x prior to 6.x-2.3 * Nodequeue 5.x prior to 5.x-2.8 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Nodequeue module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use Nodequeue 6.x upgrade to Nodequeue 6.x-2.3 [1] * If you use Nodequeue 5.x upgrade to Nodequeue 5.x-2.8 [2] See also the Nodequeue [3] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- Ezra Barnett Gildesgame (ezra-g [4]) -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ Ezra Barnett Gildesgame, the Nodequeue maintainer (ezra-g [5]) -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact.

SA-CONTRIB-2009-040 - Advanced Forum - Multiple vulnerabilities
by security-news＠drupal.org 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-040 * Project: Advanced Forum (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2009-July-1 * Security risk: Moderately critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Multiple vulnerabilities -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- .... Cross-site scripting The Advanced Forum module does not correctly handle certain arguments obtained from the URL. By enticing a suitably privileged user to visit a specially crafted URL, a malicious user is able to insert arbitrary HTML and script code into forum pages. Such a cross-site scripting attack may lead to the malicious user gaining administrative access. Wikipedia has more information about cross-site scripting (XSS). This issue affects both Advanced Forum for Drupal 5.x and Advanced Forum for Drupal 6.x. .... Input format access bypass User signatures have no separate input format, they use the format of the comment with which they are displayed. A user will no longer be able to edit a comment when an administrator changes the comment's input format to a format that is not accessible to the user. However they will still be able to modify their signature, which will then be processed by the new input format. If the new format is very permissive, via their signature, the user may be able to insert arbitrary HTML and script code into pages or, when the PHP filter is enabled for the new format, execute PHP code. This issue affects Advanced Forum for Drupal 6.x only. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Advanced Forum for Drupal 5.x prior to Advanced Forum 5.x-1.2 * Advanced Forum for Drupal 6.x prior to Advanced Forum 6.x-1.2 -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Upgrade to the latest version: * If you use Advanced Forum for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Advanced Forum 5.x-1.1 [1] * If you use Advanced Forum for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Advanced Forum 6.x-1.1 [2] See also the Advanced Forum project page [3]. -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Cox [4], the project maintainer. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security contact for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact.
