* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-0XX * Project: MultiBlock [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2012-March-28 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The MultiBlock module allows an administrator to create multiple instances of blocks provided by other modules. The module does not properly sanitize the block title provided by a block administrator, leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. A user must have a role with the permission 'administer blocks' to exploit this vulnerability.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* MultiBlock 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.4. * MultiBlock 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed MultiBlock [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the MultiBlock module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to MultiBlock 6.x-1.4 [4] * If you use the MultiBlock module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to MultiBlock 7.x-1.1 [5]
