View online: http://drupal.org/node/1558248 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-072 * Project: cctags [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2012-May-02 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- This module enables you to create "tag clouds" with taxonomy terms displayed in different sizes depending on how frequently they are used on a site. The module doesn't sufficiently filter user supplied text leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the ability to create or edit vocabularies or terms. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * cctags 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.10. * cctags 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.10. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed cctags [3] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the cctags module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to cctags 6.x-1.10 [4] * If you use the cctags module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to cctags 7.x-1.10 [5] Also see the cctags [6] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Michael Hess [7] of the Drupal Security Team * Greg Knaddison [8] of the Drupal Security Team -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Oleg Kovalchuk [9] the module maintainer * Greg Knaddison [10] of the Drupal Security Team -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Michael Hess [11] of the Drupal Security Team * Greg Knaddison [12] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [13].
