[security-news at drupal.org]

View online: http://drupal.org/node/1922438

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-021
  * Project: Display Suite [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2013-February-20
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Display Suite allows you to take full control over how your content is
displayed using a drag and drop interface.

In certain situations, Display Suite does not properly sanitize user-supplied
data, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts within a page, resulting in
a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the site must use a
contributed module that alters usernames such as the realname module and the
author field must be displayed as plain text "author".


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED  
--------------------------------------------

  * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
    accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

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

  * Display Suite 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.7.
  * Display Suite 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.1.

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

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

  * If you use the Display Suite module for Drupal 7.x-1.x, upgrade to Display
