By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-130
- Project: Javascript Tool (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2012-August-29
- Security risk: Highly critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Multiple vulnerabilities
Description
Javascript Tool enables administrators to edit any javascript file online from an admin panel.
The module does not protect its menu paths, which contain sensitive information about all javascript files on the site and their contents.
The module does not validate filenames which can lead to potential read/write access to arbitrary files on the server.
Write access to files is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the permission to use the full_html text format.
CVE: Requested
Versions affected
- Javascript Tool 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.7.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Javascript Tool module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution

- If you use the Javascript Tool module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Javascript Tool 7.x-1.7
