* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-025 * Project: Juitter - jQuery Twitter live search feeds [1] and Download Count [2] (third-party modules) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2011-June-22 * Security risk: Less critical [3] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
Two modules are being unsupported due to cross site scripting issues. The Juitter module enables you to use Juitter, a jQuery plugin, to put live Twitter search results on your site. The Juitter module contains a cross site scripting (XSS [4]) vulnerability that can be exploited when setting up the module or translating the module's text strings. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer juitter settings" or be able to translate text strings. The Download Count module tracks downloads of files from a site. The Download Count module contains a cross site scripting (XSS [5]) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer download count". -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Juitter module: 6.x-1.3 * Download Count module: 6.x-1.x, 6.x-2.x
