- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-057
- Project: Spider Contacts (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2015-February-25
- Security risk: 20/25 ( Highly Critical) AC:Basic/A:None/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery, SQL Injection, Multiple vulnerabilities
Description
Spider Contacts module provides a user-friendly way to manage and display contacts.
The module doesn’t use Drupal’s Database API properly, not sanitizing user input on SQL queries and thereby exposing a SQL Injection vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have a role with the permission “access Spider Contacts category administration”.
Additionally, the module doesn’t sufficiently protect some URLs against CSRF. A malicious user could trick an administrator into deleting contact categories by getting their browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.
