* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-063 * Project: RealName [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-April-25 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module allows you to set a pattern for constructing "Real names" for users out of profile fields. The module does not sufficiently escape users' real names under certain circumstances which could lead to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) [3] attack.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* RealName 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.5 [4]. * RealName 7.x-1.x versions are not vulnerable.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed RealName [5] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the RealName module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to RealName 6.x-1.5 [6].
Also see the RealName [7] project page.
