[IT-SecNots] [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2012-015 - Managesite - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

[security-news AT drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-015
  * Project: Managesite [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2012-January-25
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module provides a way to build a control panel similar to the one
provided by Drupal 7 on the admin zone (/admin). The module doesn't
sufficiently filter user supplied text in the administration settings. This
vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with
the permission "administer managesite".

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

  * Managesite 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.1.

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Managesite module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Managesite
    6.x-1.1 [4]

See also the Managesite [5] project page.
