[Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2010-046: Award - Cross Site Scripting

[security-news at drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-046
  * Project: Award (third-party module)
  * Version: 5.x, 6.x
  * Date: 2010-May-12
  * Security risk: Critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Award module allows administrators to identify one or more content types
as "awards" that can be granted to users.

When the title of an award is displayed on a user's profile page it is not
properly sanitized, resulting in a cross site scripting vulnerability.
Attackers must have the permission to create Award content to exploit.

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

  * Award module for Drupal 5.x versions prior to 5.x-1.2
  * Award module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-1.1

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Award [1]
module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version.

  * If you use the Award module for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Award 5.x-1.2 [2]
  * If you use the Award module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Award 6.x-1.1 [3]
