* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-054 * Project: Go - url redirects (third-party module) * Versions: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2009 August 26 * Security risk: Highly Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Multiple vulnerabilities
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Go - url redirects (gotwo) module adds the option to add redirected URLs. This module was found to have multiple vulnerabilities. .... Arbitrary PHP code execution
Due to improper use of the PCRE regular expression engine, users with permission to use the input filter provided by the module are able to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. .... Cross-site scripting (XSS)
User-supplied text is displayed in several places without being properly filtered, allowing malicious users to inject arbitrary HTML and script code. Such a cross site scripting [1] (XSS) attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. .... Access bypass and cross-site request forgery
Due to coding errors, users may be able to add redirects or reset redirect counters without having permission to do so. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
