    * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-031
    * Project: Ajax Session (third-party module)
    * Version: 5.x
    * Date: 2009 May 27
    * Security risk: Moderately critical

Description

The Ajax session module allows users to set PHP session variables using 
AJAX.

The module does not make proper use of the Drupal API, leaving it open to 
multiple vulnerabilities, including Cross Site Request Forgeries (CSRF) and 
Cross Site Scripting (XSS).

Versions affected

    * Ajax Session 5.x-1.0

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

Solution

There is no solution available. Disable the module and remove it from your 
site. The module has been removed from Drupal.org.

Reported by
