* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-039 * Project: CCK TableField (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2010-May-05 * Security risk: Moderately Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The CCK TableField module provides a generic method to attach tabular data to a node. CCK TableField does not sanitize table headers before output, allowing anyone with permissions to create or edit a node containing one or more TableField fields to insert arbitrary HTML and script code. Such a cross site scripting [1] (XSS) attack may also lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * CCK TableField module for Drupal 6.x version prior to 6.x-1.2. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed CCK TableField module for Drupal 6.x, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version or disable the module. * If you use CCK TableField 6.x-1.1 or older, upgrade to CCK TableField 6.x-1.2 [2] See also the CCK TableField [3] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * mr.baileys [4] of the Drupal Security Team [5]. -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Kevin Hankens [6], the module maintainer. -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact [7].
