- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-044
- Project: Bibliography (third-party module)
- Version: 5.x, 6.x
- Date: 2010-May-12
- Security risk: Moderately Critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Bibliography module enables users to manage and display lists of scholarly publications. The module does not sanitize some of the user-supplied data before displaying it, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This is mitigated by the fact that only users with the 'administer biblio' permission are able to exploit this vulnerability.
Versions affected
- Bibliography module 5.x-1.17 and prior versions
- Bibliography module 6.x-1.9 and prior versions
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Bibliography module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use Bibliography for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Bibliography 5.x-1.20
- If you use Bibliography for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Bibliography 6.x-1.11
