* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-002 * Project: Lingotek Collaborative Translation [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-January-04 * Security risk: Critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to translate a website's content using tools provided by the Lingotek Collaborative Translation Network.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user input when creating or editing page content. This allows a malicious content editor to potentially input malicious code (e.g. Javascript) to create a persistent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to edit or create node content types.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Lingotek [3] 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.4.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Lingotek Collaborative Translation [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Lingotek module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Lingotek 6.x-1.4 [5].
See also the Lingotek Collaborative Translation [6] project page.
