Search API Autocomplete – Moderately Critical – Cross Site Scripting (XSS) – SA-CONTRIB-2015-140
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-140
- Project: Search API Autocomplete (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-August-19
- Security risk: 6/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Complex/A:User/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module enables you to add autocomplete suggestions for search forms created with the Search API module.
The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize the HTML output for the returned suggestions, theoretically allowing an attacker to include custom HTML there.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to create new content (or other indexed entities) and that the search index must be configured to use the HTML filter processor.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- Search API Autocomplete 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3.

Flash Broker-Based Sandbox Escape Via Timing Attack Against File Moving
FlashBroker is vulnerable to NTFS junction attack to write an arbitrary file to the filesystem under user permissions. There is a race condition in FlashBroker BrokerMoveFileEx method. This race can be won by using an oplock to wait for the point where the BrokerMoveFileEx method opens the original file and then making destination to be a junction.
Flash Broker-Based Sandbox Escape Via Unexpected Directory Lock
FlashBroker is vulnerable to NTFS junction attack to write an arbitrary file to the filesystem under user permissions. There is a bad check in FlashBroker BrokerCreateFile method and BrokerMoveFileEx method. FlashBroker uses CreateFile to open the destination folder for check. If CreateFile fails, the destination will be considered as a valid path. However, FlashBroker uses dwShareMode as 0 in CreateFile, which make CreateFile always fail if handle of the destination folder is held by other.
