* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-0XX * Project: MultiBlock [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2012-March-28 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The MultiBlock module allows an administrator to create multiple instances of blocks provided by other modules. The module does not properly sanitize the block title provided by a block administrator, leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access. A user must have a role with the permission 'administer blocks' to exploit this vulnerability. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * MultiBlock 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.4. * MultiBlock 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed MultiBlock [3] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the MultiBlock module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to MultiBlock 6.x-1.4 [4] * If you use the MultiBlock module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to MultiBlock 7.x-1.1 [5] Also see the MultiBlock [6] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Justin Klein Keane [7] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Andrew Levine [8] the module maintainer -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Ivo Van Geertruyen [9] of the Drupal Security Team * Michael Hess [10] 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 [11].
