[IT-SecNots] [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2011-057 - Support Ticketing System - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

[security-news AT drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-057
  * Project: Support Ticketing System [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2011-November-30
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Support Ticketing System module provides a basic ticketing system and
helpdesk that is native to Drupal, offering complete email integration.

The module does not properly sanitize user-supplied content, resulting in
multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer support projects."

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

  * support 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.7 [3].

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Support Ticketing System module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to
    support 6.x-1.7 [5]

Note: If you were using the 6.x-1.6-rc1 release, or wish to test the latest
6.x version, you may upgrade to support 6.x-1.8-rc1 [6].

See also the Support Ticketing System [7] project page.
