* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-011 * Project: Panels [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-January-18 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Panels module allows a site administrator to create customized layouts for multiple uses. The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize administrator supplied data. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer panel layouts".
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Panels 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-3.10.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Panels [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Panels module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Panels 6.x-3.10 [4]
See also the Panels [5] project page.
