  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-021
  • Project: Display Suite (third-party module)
  • Version: 7.x
  • Date: 2013-February-20
  • Security risk: Moderately critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

Display Suite allows you to take full control over how your content is displayed using a drag and drop interface.

In certain situations, Display Suite does not properly sanitize user-supplied data, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts within a page, resulting in a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the site must use a contributed module that alters usernames such as the realname module and the author field must be displayed as plain text "author".

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • CVE-2013-0323

Versions affected

  • Display Suite 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.7.
  • Display Suite 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.1.

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

Install the latest version:
