• Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-014
  • Project: Webform Block (third-party module)
  • Version: 6.x
  • Date: 2011-March-23
  • Security risk: Moderately critical (definition of risk levels)
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

The Webform Block module enables users to make a webform available as a block.

The module does not sanitize some of the user-supplied data before displaying it, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that a malicious user must be assigned a role that includes permission to create and/or edit webforms.

Versions affected

  • Webform Block module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Webform Block module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:
