SA-CONTRIB-2012-126 - Hotblocks - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and Denial of Service (DoS)
by security-news＠drupal.org 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

View online: http://drupal.org/node/1732946 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-126 * Project: HotBlocks [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-August-15 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Multiple vulnerabilities -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Hotblocks module provides an enhanced GUI for administering blocks and block content that is intended to be simpler and more controllable for less privileged users than the default block administration tools. .... Cross Site Scripting (XSS) The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the user input for "block names" on the module's settings page. A user could inject arbitrary scripts into pages affecting site users. This XSS vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer hotblocks". .... Denial of Service (DoS) The hotblocks user interface also allows a user to configure one hotblock to reference itself as content, thereby creating an infinite loop and potentially rendering a site unusable. The DoS vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that a user must have a role with the permission "administer hotblocks" or a user with said permission must have configured the site such that it allows hotblocks to be embedded in other hotblocks. CVE: Requested -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Hotblocks 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.8. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed HotBlocks [3] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Hotblocks module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Hotblocks 6.x-1.8 [4] Also see the HotBlocks [5] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Justin C. Klein Keane [6] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Justin Dodge [7] the module maintainer -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Greg Knaddison [8] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [9].

SA-CONTRIB-2012-125 - Chaos tool suite (ctools) - Local File Inclusion and Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
by security-news＠drupal.org 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

View online: http://drupal.org/node/1719548 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-125 * Project: Chaos tool suite (ctools) [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2012-August-8 * Security risk: Critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Local File Inclusion and Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Chaos tool suite is primarily a set of APIs and tools to improve the developer experience. The module doesn't sufficiently validate css import statements to confirm they only include css content appropriate to show to end users. This could allow a malicious user to add sensitive content from the site (e.g. settings.php) exposing that sensitive content to visitors of the page. It could also be used to execute a Cross Site Scripting attack. This vulnerability is party mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with a permission to place custom CSS into a field. However, any user who can create or edit a node may have sufficient permissions to place the CSS depending on the site configuration. CVE: Requested -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Chaos tool suite (ctools) 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.9. * Chaos tool suite (ctools) 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Chaos tool suite (ctools) [3] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Ctools module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Ctools 6.x-1.9 [4] * If you use the Ctools module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Ctools 7.x-1.1 [5] Also see the Chaos tool suite (ctools) [6] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Casey [7] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Tim Plunkett [8] a module maintainer * John Morahan [9] of the Drupal Security Team -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * John Morahan [10] of the Drupal Security Team * Heine Deelstra [11] of the Drupal Security Team * Greg Knaddison [12] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [13].

The module doesn't perform proper access checks, allowing a user to send arbitrary (e.g. the settings.php) files as attachments. In the latest version users must have the "send arbitrary files" permission to access files located outside the public files directory.

If you do not use the contributed Mime Mail [3] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Mime Mail module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Mime Mail 6.x-1.1 [4] Also see the Mime Mail [5] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * joglin [6] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Jeremiah Davis [7] the module maintainer * Gabor Seljan [8] the module maintainer -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Greg Knaddison [9] of the Drupal Security Team * Dave Reid [10] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [11].

The module doesn't sufficiently ensure node access for sites that use a node access system. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it only affects sites using a node_access module.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Monthly Archive by Node Type [4] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Remove the module; all versions of the module are affected by this vulnerability.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-119 - Excluded Users - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

View online: http://drupal.org/node/1708058 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-119 * Project: Excluded Users [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-August-1 * Security risk: Less critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- Excluded Users is a helper module which allows administrators to select users to not appear in user listings. The module displays a list of user names and email addresses without sanitizing them. In the event that someone manages to insert malicious code into a user name or email address, this might lead to an XSS attack. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the user name and email address are validated on creation by default but other user creation methods could create a vulnerability. CVE: Requested -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Excluded Users 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.1. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Excluded Users [3] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Excluded Users module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Excluded Users 6.x-1.1 [4] Also see the Excluded Users [5] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Fox [6] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Ricky Morse [7] the 6.x module maintainer -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Michael Hess [8] of the Drupal Security Team * Peter Wolanin [9] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [10].
