  • Version: 6.x
  • Date: 2014-April-16
  • Security risk: Highly critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: SQL Injection

Description

Block Search module provides an alternative way of managing blocks.

The module doesn't properly use Drupal's database API resulting in user-provided strings being passed directly to the database allowing SQL Injection.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must either use a CSRF attack against a user with sufficient permissions or have a role with the permission "admin blocks" or "set region".
