[IT-SecNots] [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2011-039 - Bot Alarm - Multiple vulnerabilities

[security-news AT drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-039
  * Project: Bot Alarm [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2011-August-31
  * Security risk: Critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery

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

This module enables you to set alarms for your IRC bot. The module does not
properly escape the message and channels of alarms in pages listing the
alarms, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This
vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with
the permission 'administer bot'. The module does not check for any
one-time-use tokens when deleting an alarm, leading to a Cross Site Request
Forgery (CSRF ) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact
that an attacker must have a role with the permission 'administer bot'.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * Bot Alarm 6.x-1.0

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

-------- SOLUTION
