- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-039
- Project: Language icons (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2012-March-14
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
CVE: CVE-2012-2065
The Language icons module adds icons to language links generated by the Locale and Content Translation modules in core.
The module does not sanitize some of the user-supplied data before displaying it, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer languages".
Versions affected
- Language icons 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.1.
- Language icons 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.0.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Language icons module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Language icons module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Language icons 6.x-2.1
- If you use the Language icons module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Language icons 7.x-1.0
