  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-030
  • Project: SexyBookmarks (third-party module)
  • Version: 6.x
  • Date: 2014-March-12
  • Security risk: Moderately critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Information Disclosure

Description

The SexyBookmarks module is a port of the WordPress SexyBookmarks plug-in. The module adds social bookmarking using the Shareaholic service.

The module discloses the private files location when Drupal 6 is configured to use private files.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only sites using private files are affected.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

  • All SexyBookmarks 6.x-2.x versions.

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

Solution

  • If you use the SexyBookmarks module for Drupal 6.x you should disable it.
  • Users can also consider using the Shareaholic module which provides similar features. However, the Shareaholic module is currently only available for Drupal 7 so affected users would have to upgrade to Drupal 7 first.
