[IT-SecNots] [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2012-002 - Lingotek Cross Site Scripting

[security-news AT drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-002
  * Project: Lingotek Collaborative Translation [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2012-January-04
  * Security risk: Critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables you to translate a website's content using tools provided
by the Lingotek Collaborative Translation Network.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user input when creating or editing
page content. This allows a malicious content editor to potentially input
malicious code (e.g. Javascript) to create a persistent Cross Site Scripting
(XSS) attack.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to edit or create node content types.

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

  * Lingotek [3] 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.4.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Lingotek
Collaborative Translation [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Lingotek module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Lingotek 6.x-1.4
    [5].

See also the Lingotek Collaborative Translation [6] project page.
