[Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2009-079 - vCard - Cross Site Scripting

[security-news at drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-079
  * Project: vCard module (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x, 5.x
  * Date: 2009-October-21
  * Security risk: Less critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The vCard module adds a vCard download link to every user's profile. This
link makes it easy to add users from a Drupal site to a local address book.
When the theme_vcard() function is added to a theme and default content from
the vCard module is output, the site will be vulnerable to Cross Site
Scripting attack (XSS [1]) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a
malicious user gaining full administrative access.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * vCard module versions 6.x prior to 6.x-1.3
  * vCard module versions 5.x prior to 5.x-1.4

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed vCard module,
there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION  
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:
  * If you use the vCard module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to vCard module 6.x-1.3
    [2]
  * If you use the vCard module for Drupal 5.x upgrade to vCard module 5.x-1.4
    [3]
