- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-136
- Project: Apache Solr Autocomplete (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2012-August-29
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
Apache Solr Search Autocomplete module enables you to add autocomplete capabilities to the search text field for the Apache Solr Search Integration module.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter the autocomplete results sent back from the Drupal site, so under the scenario where someone provided a URL with a specially-crafted search string embedded in it, the attacker could have a user execute arbitrary Javascript when clicking or focusing on the autocomplete text field.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacked user must click or otherwise give focus to the text widget to have the Javascript activate.
CVE: CVE-2012-6573
