View online: https://www.drupal.org/node/2463835 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-090 * Project: Password policy [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2015-April-01 * Security risk: 15/25 ( Critical) AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2] * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Password Policy module allows enforcing restrictions on user passwords by defining password policies. The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize usernames in some administration pages, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only sites with a policy that uses the username constraint are affected. Also, only sites importing users from an external source (like distributed authentication) may allow non-standard usernames that might contain malicious characters, as Drupal core has validation when creating users via the user interface. -------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED -------------------------------------------- * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./ -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Password Policy 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.11. * Password Policy 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.11. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Password policy [4] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Password Policy 6.x-1.x module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Password Policy 6.x-1.11 [5] * If you use the Password Policy 7.x-1.x module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Password Policy 7.x-1.11 [6] Also see the Password policy [7] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * AohRveTPV [8], the module maintainer -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * AohRveTPV [9], the module maintainer -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Pere Orga [10] 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 [11].
