SA-CONTRIB-2010-051 - Heartbeat - Cross Site Scripting
by security-news＠drupal.org 19 May '10

19 May '10

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-051 * Project: Heartbeat (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2010-May-19 * Security risk: Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Heartbeat project contains a suite of modules to display user activity on a website. These modules do not properly sanitize some of their output, allowing certain users the ability to insert arbitrary HTML and script code. Such a cross site scripting (XSS [1]) attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. Depending on how the modules are configured, this vulnerability may extend to relatively unprivileged users, such as those with the ability to post comments, user "shouts" or other content. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Heartbeat for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-4.9 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Heartbeat [2] modules, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Heartbeat module for Drupal 6.x, update to Heartbeat 6.x-4.9 [3]. See also the Heartbeat project page [4]. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- Some aspects of the vulnerability were reported by Sebastian Szałachowski, and others were reported by Jochen Stals [5] (Stalski), the module maintainer. -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ Jochen Stals [6] (Stalski), the module maintainer, and David Rothstein [7] of the Drupal Security Team -------- 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-2010-050 - CAPTCHA - Cross Site Scripting
by security-news＠drupal.org 19 May '10

19 May '10

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-050 * Project: CAPTCHA (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2010-May-19 * Security risk: Not Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The CAPTCHA module enables a site administrator to put a CAPTCHA form element (a simple challenge that is easy for humans, but hard for automated spam bots) on any form. The CAPTCHA module does not sanitize the CAPTCHA description that is added as help text to the CAPTCHA form element, allowing users with permissions to configure the CAPTCHA settings to insert arbitrary HTML and script code. Such a cross site scripting (XSS [1]) attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. This vulnerability is mitigated by the attacker needing the "administer CAPTCHA settings" permission in order to exploit it. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * CAPTCHA module for Drupal 5.x versions prior to 5.x-3.3 * CAPTCHA module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed CAPTCHA [2] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use CAPTCHA module for Drupal 5.x, update to CAPTCHA 5.x-3.3 [3]. * If you use CAPTCHA module for Drupal 6.x, update to CAPTCHA 6.x-2.2 [4]. See also the CAPTCHA project page [5]. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- mr.baileys [6] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ Stefaan Lippens [7] (soxofaan), the CAPTCHA module maintainer -------- 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-2010-049 - Wordpress Import - Access bypass
by security-news＠drupal.org 19 May '10

19 May '10

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-049 * Project: Wordpress Import (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2010-May-19 * Security risk: Highly Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access bypass -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Wordpress Import module provides the ability to import nodes from a Wordpress WXR export file. The form to import a WXR file does not use the correct access permission and allows any user to upload arbitrary files and import data from a remote WRX file. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Wordpress Import for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-2.1 including all versions of 6.x-1.x. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Wordpress Import [1] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version and revoke the "import wordpress blog" permission from untrusted roles. * If you use Wordpress Import 6.x-2.x or 6.x-1.x upgrade to Wordpress Import 6.x-2.1 [2]. The Wordpress Import 6.x-1.x branch is no longer maintained. *Important note*: Only give fully trusted users the "import wordpress blog" permission. Wordpress Import 6.x-2.1 still allows a user with that permission to upload arbitrary files. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Jennifer Hodgdon [3]. -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Yann Rocq [4], module maintainer. * lavamind [5], module maintainer. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal [6] can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact.

PSA-2010-001: Policy on release versions and permissions
by security-news＠drupal.org 13 May '10

13 May '10

* Advisory ID: PSA-2010-001 * Project: Drupal core and contrib * Versions: 5.x and 6.x and above * Date: 2010-May-13 * Security risk: None -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- This is a public service announcement regarding Drupal Security Team policies. In a previous PSA [1] we stated that vulnerabilities in modules which require the "administer content types" permission to be exploited would not receive an official security release with a security advisory (SA) and would be handled publicly much like the way the "administer site configuration" permission was treated. We now maintain a list of permissions that are treated similarly at Security advisories process and permissions policy [2]. That page also clarifies which projects (modules, themes, and distributions) on drupal.org receive SAs and includes only projects that have an official release that is identified as "Y.x-Z.0" and not for projects in beta, alpha, or even release candidate (RC) stage. This means that a security vulnerability in a 6.x-1.0 or 6.x-2.2 release will receive a SA while a 6.x-1.0-beta10 or 6.x-2.0-RC3 will not receive a SA. A project maintainer may use the "Security update" term to indicate a release that includes security improvements even if there is no SA, but they are not required to do so. Using the "Security update" term will trigger the Update module in Drupal 6.x+ core to alert site maintainers to update their site. The goal with this policy is to ensure that official security releases with SAs are relevant and receive appropriate attention, to allow maintainers to readily fix problems when their project is still in active development, and to permit effective channels of communication between the maintainers and users of a project. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Only grant the most trusted site administrators the permissions listed on the Security advisories process and permissions policy [3] page. Be aware that projects on drupal.org will not receive an SA and security vulnerabilities will not be kept private until a project reaches an official release "Y.x-Z.0" status. You are encouraged to use only "Y.x-Z.0" projects for your sites, and to contribute to or sponsor work on projects you use so that they can reach an official release. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal [4] can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact.

SA-CONTRIB-2010-048: CiviRegister - Cross Site Scripting
by security-news＠drupal.org 12 May '10

12 May '10

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-048 * Project: CiviRegister (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2010-May-12 * Security risk: Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The CiviRegister module replaces the standard Drupal user registration form with a CiviCRM Profile form configured to create users. Notifications on the Profile's administrative page include unsanitized data obtained from the URL. A malicious user could create a special link which would inject arbitrary HTML into the resulting page, if clicked by a Drupal user with 'administer CiviCRM permissions.' Exploiting this vulnerability could allow a malicious user to gain the permissions of the targeted user. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Versions of CiviRegister for Drupal 6.x prior to 6.x-1.1 * Versions of CiviRegister for Drupal 5.x. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed CiviRegister [1] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version. * If you use CiviRegister for Drupal 6.x upgrade to CiviRegister 6.x-1.1 [2] or any later version. * If you use the CiviRegister module for Drupal 5.x, you should uninstall CiviRegister. CiviRegister and CiviCRM are no longer supported for Drupal 5.x. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Matt Chapman, the module maintainer [3] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Matt Chapman, the module maintainer [4] -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [5].

SA-CONTRIB-2010-047: Services - Access Bypass
by security-news＠drupal.org 12 May '10

12 May '10

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-047 * Project: Services (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2010-May-12 * Security risk: Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access Bypass -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Services module allows users to expose Drupal functionality to remote users. Services provides the ability for developers to define access callbacks in code for exposed services. When using session ID authentication without API key authentication, the module does not properly check access when a service is using the default access callback. This allows users to access functionality which should have been controlled by user permissions. This vulnerability is nonexistent if session ID authentication is used in combination with API key authentication. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Services module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-2.1 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Services [1] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version. * If you use the Services module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Services 6.x-2.1 [2] -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Edsko de Vries [3] * Greg Dunlap [4], the module maintainer -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Greg Dunlap [5], the module maintainer -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [6].

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-046 * Project: Award (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2010-May-12 * Security risk: Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Award module allows administrators to identify one or more content types as "awards" that can be granted to users. When the title of an award is displayed on a user's profile page it is not properly sanitized, resulting in a cross site scripting vulnerability. Attackers must have the permission to create Award content to exploit. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Award module for Drupal 5.x versions prior to 5.x-1.2 * Award module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-1.1 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Award [1] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version. * If you use the Award module for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Award 5.x-1.2 [2] * If you use the Award module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Award 6.x-1.1 [3] -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Martin Barbella [4] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Josh Benner [5], the module maintainer -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [6].

SA-CONTRIB-2010-045 - Auto Assign Role - Access bypass
by security-news＠drupal.org 12 May '10

12 May '10

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-045 * Project: Auto Assign Role (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2010-May-12 * Security risk: Less Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Access Bypass -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Auto Assign Role serves three primary purposes. The first is to provide an automatic assignment of roles when a new account is created. The second is to allow the end user the option of choosing their own role or roles when they create their account. The third is to provide paths that will trigger a specific role when an account is created. Auto Assign Role recently added a node autocomplete that did not properly utilize the Drupal node access API. This may allow users with the 'administer autoassignrole' permission users to view the content of nodes that they should not have permission to access. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * AutoAssign Role [1] module for Drupal 6.x version prior to 6.x-1.2. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Auto Assign Role module for Drupal 6.x, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version or disable the module. If you use Auto Assign Role prior to 6.x-1.2, upgrade to Auto Assign Role 6.x-1.2 [2] -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * mr.baileys [3]. -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Kevin Bridges [4], the module maintainer. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [5].

12 May '10

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-044 * Project: Bibliography (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2010-May-12 * Security risk: Moderately Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Bibliography module enables users to manage and display lists of scholarly publications. The module does not sanitize some of the user-supplied data before displaying it, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS [1]) vulnerability. This is mitigated by the fact that only users with the 'administer biblio' permission are able to exploit this vulnerability. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Bibliography module 5.x-1.17 and prior versions * Bibliography module 6.x-1.9 and prior versions Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Bibliography [2] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use Bibliography for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Bibliography 5.x-1.20 [3] * If you use Bibliography for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Bibliography 6.x-1.11 [4] See also the Bibliography project page [5]. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Martin Barbella [6] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Jerome [7], the module maintainer. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [8].

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-043 * Project: Wordfilter (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2010-May-12 * Security risk: Moderately critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Wordfilter module implements an input filter that rewrites content to remove improper or foul language. Wordfilter does not sanitize the list of words that are filtered along with their replacements, allowing users with permissions to manage the list of banned words to insert arbitrary HTML and script code. Such a cross site scripting [1] (XSS) attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. This vulnerability is mitigated by the attacker needing the "administer words filtered" permission in order to exploit it. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Wordfilter 5.x prior to 5.x-1.1 [2] * Wordfilter 6.x prior to 6.x-1.1 [3] Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Wordfilter module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use Wordfilter module for Drupal 5.x, update to Wordfilter 5.x-1.1 [4]. * If you use Wordfilter module for Drupal 6.x, update to Wordfilter 6.x-1.1 [5].
