* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-060 * Project: Scheduler (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2010-May-26 * Security risk: Moderately critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
Scheduler allows nodes to be published and unpublished on specified dates. Scheduler does not sanitize titles for unpublished nodes on the scheduled nodes overview list, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS [1]) vulnerability that may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. The risk is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must succeed in a) creating a node that is b) scheduled (requires "schedule (un)publishing of nodes" permission) and c) unpublished. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Scheduler module for Drupal 5.x versions prior to 5.x-1-19 * Scheduler module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-1.7
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Scheduler [2] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version: * If you use the Scheduler module for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Scheduler 5.x-1-19 [3] * If you use the Scheduler module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Scheduler 6.x-1.7 [4]
See also the Scheduler project page [5]. -------- REPORTED BY ---------------------------------------------------------

-------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------
