- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-056
- Project: Webform Validation (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2011-November-30
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Webform Validation module enables you to add form validation rules to Webform components through a UI.
The module contains multiple cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities due to the fact that it fails to sanitize certain user entered text prior to displaying in the browser.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with permission to update Webform nodes. Various permissions provide for this ability.
Versions affected
- Webform Validation 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.4.
- Webform Validation 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.0.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Webform Validation module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Webform Validation module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Webform Validation 6.x-1.5
- If you use the Webform Validation module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Webform Validation 7.x-1.1
