AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary
---------------------------------
Product: Advanced Forum module for Drupal
Publisher: Drupal
Operating System: Windows
UNIX variants (UNIX, Linux, OSX)
Impact/Access: Cross-site Scripting -- Existing Account
Resolution: Patch/Upgrade
Original Bulletin:
https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2019-054
- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
Advanced Forum - Critical - Cross Site Scripting - SA-CONTRIB-2019-054
Project:
Advanced Forum
Version:
7.x-2.x-dev
Date:
2019-June-26
Security risk:
Critical 16/25 AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
Vulnerability:
Cross Site Scripting
Description:
Advanced Forum builds on and enhances Drupal's core forum module. When used in
combination with other Drupal contributed modules, many of which are
automatically used by Advanced Forum, you can achieve much of what stand alone
software provides.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitise user input in specific circumstances.
It is not possible to disable the vulnerable functionality.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with permission to create forum content.
Solution:
Install the latest version:
o If you use the Advanced Forum module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Advanced
Forum 7.x-2.8
Also see the Advanced Forum project page.
