By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-077
- Project: Advertisement (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-May-16
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Information Disclosure, Multiple vulnerabilities
Description
XSS Issue:
CVE: CVE-2012-2703.
Access bypass:
CVE: CVE-2012-2704
This module enables you to serve advertisements, define pools of ads and show certain ads on certain pages.
The module could, under certain conditions, expose limited site configuration information and a debugging mode did not sufficiently sanitize input, allowing for potential cross-site scripting (XSS).
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that exposed data must have been explicitly set in the $conf variable in settings.php.
Versions affected
- Advertisement 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Advertisement module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Advertisement module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Advertisement 6.x-2.3
Also see the Advertisement project page.
