* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-097 * Project: Protest [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2012-June-06 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------

Protest allows websites to display a complete page blackout (website protest).

The module contains a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability as it fails to sanitize user input before display.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer protest". CVE: Requested

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------

* Protest 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2. * Protest 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Protest [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

* If you use the Protest module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Protest 6.x-1.2 [4] * If you use the Protest module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Protest 7.x-1.2 [5]
