- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-023
- Project: Varnish HTTP Accelerator Integration (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2013-February-20
- Security risk: Less critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module provides integration between your Drupal site and the Varnish HTTP Accelerator, an advanced and very fast reverse-proxy system.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter user-supplied text provided in the configuration settings.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "Administer Varnish".
CVE identifier(s) issued
- CVE-2013-0325
Versions affected
- Varnish 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2.
- Varnish 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.0-beta2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Varnish HTTP Accelerator Integration module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
