* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-044 * Project: Bibliography (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2010-May-12 * Security risk: Moderately Critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Bibliography module enables users to manage and display lists of scholarly publications. The module does not sanitize some of the user-supplied data before displaying it, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS [1]) vulnerability. This is mitigated by the fact that only users with the 'administer biblio' permission are able to exploit this vulnerability.

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

* Bibliography module 5.x-1.17 and prior versions * Bibliography module 6.x-1.9 and prior versions

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Bibliography [2] module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

* If you use Bibliography for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Bibliography 5.x-1.20 [3] * If you use Bibliography for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Bibliography 6.x-1.11 [4]

See also the Bibliography project page [5].

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