* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-123
* Project: Postal Code [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 7.x
* Date: 2014-December-10
* Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
The Postal Code module enables you to implement postal code validation for
several countries.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize certain data in the admin thereby
opening a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with a permission that allows adding or editing fields to entity types such
as "administer taxonomy terms" or "administer content types".
-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------
* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
accordance
with Drupal Security Team processes./
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------
* Postal Code 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.9.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Postal Code
[4] module,
there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Postal Code module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Postal Code
7.x-1.9 [5]
Also see the Postal Code [6] project page.
