SA-CONTRIB-2011-057 - Support Ticketing System - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

• Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-057
• Project: Support Ticketing System (third-party module)
• Version: 6.x
• Date: 2011-November-30
• Security risk: Moderately critical
• Exploitable from: Remote
• Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

The Support Ticketing System module provides a basic ticketing system and helpdesk that is native to Drupal, offering complete email integration.

The module does not properly sanitize user-supplied content, resulting in multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

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

Versions affected

• support 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.7.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Support Ticketing System module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

• If you use the Support Ticketing System module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to support 6.x-1.7

Note: If you were using the 6.x-1.6-rc1 release, or wish to test the latest 6.x version, you may upgrade to support 6.x-1.8-rc1.
