[Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2012-011 - Panels - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

[security-news at drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-011
  * Project: Panels [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2012-January-18
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Panels module allows a site administrator to create customized layouts
for multiple uses.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize administrator supplied data.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer panel layouts".

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

  * Panels 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-3.10.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Panels [3]
module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Panels module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Panels 6.x-3.10
    [4]

See also the Panels [5] project page.
