* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-121 * Project: Godwin's Law [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2014-December-10 * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2] * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to execute arbitrary Javascript by adding the script to the title of a node.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize Watchdog messages when viewing the detail view of a specific Watchdog notification. It improperly translated the message rather than using proper Watchdog message syntax.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role allowing them to create nodes or edit the title of an existing node. It is further mitigated in that the script is only executed by admins when viewing a Watchdog notice when using dblog module (syslog users are not affected).
-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED --------------------------------------------
* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Godwin's Law 7.x-1.0.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Godwin's Law [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
