  • Advisory ID: SA-CONTRIB-2009-076
  • Project: Flag Content (third-party module)
  • Version: 5.x
  • Date: 2009-October-21
  • Security risk: Moderately Critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

The Flag Content module enables users to flag nodes and users for the attention of a site maintainer (e.g. for abuse, spam, trolling, ...etc.). In some specific cases, the module does not sanitize before outputting the Reason field, resulting in a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access.

Versions affected

  • Flag Content 5.x-2.x prior to 5.x-2.10

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