  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-023
  • Project: Ubercart (third-party module)
  • Version: 5.x
  • Date: 2008-April-02
  • Security risk: Moderately critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross site scripting

Description

During checkout in Ubercart enabled stores, customers have text fields in which to enter their address and order information. Some stores will have modules enabled that restrict what sort of values are accepted in these fields, but this is not the case for everyone. This provides an opportunity for a malicious user to perform a cross site scripting attack when the orders are displayed on administrative pages (particularly the order view page).

All users are encouraged to update to the latest version. Be sure to verify the compatibility of your contrib modules as you perform the update. (Recent beta users should not run into any compatibility issues.)

Versions affected

  • Ubercart for Drupal 5.x prior to 5.x-1.0-rc1

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

Solution

Install the latest version:
