* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-034 * Project: Node Recommendation [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-March-7 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- This module shows users other nodes that they might be interested in based on a simple logic and using taxonomy. The aim of this module is to provide sensible defaults and an easy configuration for less-technical users and to allow it to be manually overriden. The module doesn't sufficiently filter user supplied text. The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker would need permission to create taxonomy terms or edit node titles to exploit the issue. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Node recommendation 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.1. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Node Recommendation [3] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Node recommendation module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Node recommendation 6.x-1.1 [4] See also the Node Recommendation [5] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Dylan Tack [6] of the Drupal Security Team -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Ariel Barreiro [7] the module maintainer -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Greg Knaddison [8] of the Drupal Security Team * Michael Hess [9] 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 [10].
