- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-044
- Project: Bubbletimer (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2009-July-22
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Multiple vulnerabilities
Description
Bubbletimer allows users to create timesheets based on nodes. It suffers from a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to not properly sanitizing node titles before they are displayed. It is also vulnerable to cross-site request forgeries (CSRF) making it possible for users to unknowingly add nodes to, or remove nodes from, their timesheets. Together, these vulnerabilities could lead to an attacker gaining administrator access.
Additionally, the module does not respect node access restrictions when displaying node listings.
Versions affected
- Bubbletimer for Drupal 6.x prior to Bubbletimer 6.x-1.5
