[IT-SecurityNotifies] [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2010-044: Bibliography - Cross Site Scripting

[security-news AT drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-044
  * Project: Bibliography (third-party module)
  * Version: 5.x, 6.x
  * Date: 2010-May-12
  * Security risk: Moderately Critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Bibliography module enables users to manage and display lists of
scholarly publications. The module does not sanitize some of the
user-supplied data before displaying it, leading to a Cross Site Scripting
(XSS [1]) vulnerability. This is mitigated by the fact that only users with
the 'administer biblio' permission are able to exploit this vulnerability.

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

  * Bibliography module 5.x-1.17 and prior versions
  * Bibliography module 6.x-1.9 and prior versions

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use Bibliography for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Bibliography 5.x-1.20
    [3]
  * If you use Bibliography for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Bibliography 6.x-1.11
    [4]

See also the Bibliography project page [5].

-------- REPORTED BY

  * Martin Barbella [6]

-------- FIXED BY  
------------------------------------------------------------

Ron Jerome [7], the module maintainer.
