[Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2012-072 - cctags - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
|
|
View online: http://drupal.org/node/1558248
* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-072
* Project: cctags [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x, 7.x
* Date: 2012-May-02
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to create "tag clouds" with taxonomy terms displayed
in different sizes depending on how frequently they are used on a site.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter user supplied text leading to a Cross
Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the ability to create or edit vocabularies or terms.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------
* cctags 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.10.
* cctags 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.10.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed cctags [3]
module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the cctags module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to cctags 6.x-1.10
[4]
* If you use the cctags module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to cctags 7.x-1.10
[5]
Also see the cctags [6] project page.
