* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-079 * Project: vCard module (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 5.x * Date: 2009-October-21 * Security risk: Less critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The vCard module adds a vCard download link to every user's profile. This link makes it easy to add users from a Drupal site to a local address book. When the theme_vcard() function is added to a theme and default content from the vCard module is output, the site will be vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting attack (XSS [1]) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* vCard module versions 6.x prior to 6.x-1.3 * vCard module versions 5.x prior to 5.x-1.4
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed vCard module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version: * If you use the vCard module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to vCard module 6.x-1.3 [2] * If you use the vCard module for Drupal 5.x upgrade to vCard module 5.x-1.4 [3]
