  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-015
  • Project: Manager Change for Organic Groups (third-party module)
  • Version: 7.x
  • Date: 2013-February-13
  • Security risk: Less critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

This module extends Organic Groups to allow the manager of a group to select a new manager for their group (ie if they want to leave the group).

The autocomplete field for selecting a new manager didn't properly filter usernames.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that Drupal's default registration validation prevents the creation of username that contain cross site scripting attacks. However, a contributed module may bypass that validation or alter the way usernames are loaded in a way that introduces an attack vector.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • CVE-2013-0317

Versions affected

  • Manager Change for Organic Groups 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.1.

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