View online: https://www.drupal.org/node/2390857 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-123 * Project: Postal Code [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 --------------------------------------------------------- The Postal Code module enables you to implement postal code validation for several countries. The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize certain data in the admin thereby opening a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with a permission that allows adding or editing fields to entity types such as "administer taxonomy terms" or "administer content types". -------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED -------------------------------------------- * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./ -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Postal Code 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.9. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Postal Code [4] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Postal Code module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Postal Code 7.x-1.9 [5] Also see the Postal Code [6] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Matt Vance [7] (provisional member of the Drupal Security Team) -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Jeremy Edgell [8] the module maintainer * Matt Vance [9] (provisional member of the Drupal Security Team) -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Lee Rowlands [10] of the Drupal Security Team * Ben Dougherty [11] provisional member of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at https://www.drupal.org/contact [12].
