* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-044 * Project: Homebox [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2011-October-05 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting (XSS [3]) -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- Homebox allows site administrators to create dashboards for their users, using blocks as widgets. Blocks in a Homebox page are resizeable, and reorderable by dragging. Homebox OG is a submodule of Homebox which allows Organics Groups administrators to specify a Homebox to be used as the group homepage for any Organic Group. Homebox OG does not do sufficient filtering of user supplied text which presents a cross site scripting vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a user account with a role permitted to create or edit an Organic Groups node. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Homebox 6.x-2.x versions. * Homebox 6.x-3.x versions prior to 6.x-3.0-beta3. * Homebox 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.0-beta4. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Homebox [4] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Homebox module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Homebox 6.x-3.0-beta5 [5] note that 6.x-2.x branch is no longer supported users of 6.x-2.x should upgrade to 6.x-3.x * If you use the Homebox module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Homebox 7.x-2.0-beta6 [6] If you do not use the contributed homebox_og module you do not need to upgrade.
