[IT-SecNots] [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2012-122 - Better Revisions - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

[security-news AT drupal.org]

View online: http://drupal.org/node/1719402

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-122
  * Project: Better Revisions [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2012-August-08
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Better Revisions module changes the built-in revision log text area to a
customizable select list with an optional description field. It also allows
an administrator to make the list and/or description field required.

The module doesn't sufficiently validate strings entered in the
administration interface.

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

CVE: Requested

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

  * Better Revisions 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1.

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Better Revisions module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Better
    Revisions 7.x-1.1 [4]

Also see the Better Revisions [5] project page.
