* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-033 * Project: iWebkit [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2011-August-03 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
iWebKit is a web toolkit designed to create iPhone and iPod touch compatible websites and webapps.
iWebkit does not properly sanitize menu links when displayed, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts in menu items, thus creating a cross site scripting (XSS [3]) vulnerability that may lead to an unauthorized user gaining full administrative access.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the "administer menu" permission.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* iWebkit theme 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed iWebkit [4] theme, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the iWebkit [5] theme for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to iWebkit 6.x-2.2 [6].
See also the iWebkit [7] project page.
-------- REPORTED BY ---------------------------------------------------------
* Thomas Turnbull (tom_o_t [8])
-------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------
* Sumit Kataria (sumitk [9]), the theme maintainer
