  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-059
  • Project: Meta tags quick (third-party module)
  • Version: 7.x
  • Date: 2011-December-14
  • Security risk: Less critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

The Meta tags quick module provides a simple tool to add meta tags to a site. The module doesn't consistently filter user input which could lead to a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer content types", "administer vocabularies and terms" or another permission that allows modifying the names of entity bundles.

Versions affected

  • Meta tags quick 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Meta tags quick module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

  • If you use the Meta tags quick module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Meta tags quick 7.x-2.3.
