Fieldable Panels Panes – Moderately Critical – XSS – SA-CONTRIB-2016-025

Leave a comment

Description

This module enables you to create fieldable entities that have special integration with Panels.

The module doesn’t sufficiently filter the entity title or admin title fields when they are displayed in either the Panels admin UI or the In-Place Editor (IPE), allowing for specially crafted XSS attacks.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the necessary permissions to create FPP objects, and then either:

  • a user with permission to use the Panels In-Place-Editor (IPE) must visit a page that the FPP object is added to; or
  • a user with permission to use the Panels admin interface must edit a page the FPP object is added to.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

  • Fieldable Panels Panes 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.10.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Fieldable Panels Panes (FPP) module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-0715-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-0715-01 – The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s SCTP implementation handled sctp_accept() during the processing of heartbeat timeout events. A remote attacker could use this flaw to prevent further connections to be accepted by the SCTP server running on the system, resulting in a denial of service.
