* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-058 * Project: Support Timer [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2011-November-30 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Support Timer module adds a javascript-based timer to the Support Ticketing System [3] for tracking how long users are working on support tickets, as well as administrative reports.

The module does not properly sanitize user-supplied content, resulting in multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "track time spent".

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

* Support Timer 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.4 [4].

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Support Timer [5] module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

* If you use the Support Timer module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Support Timer 6.x-1.4 [6]

See also the Support Timer [7] project page.

* Brandon Bergren [8]

-------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------

* Brandon Bergren [9] the module maintainer

-------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------
