• Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-081
• Project: Petition (third-party module)
• Version: 6.x
• Date: 2015-March-25
• Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
• Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

The Petition module enables you to create petitions which users may sign.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize user supplied text in some administration pages, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “create petition”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

• Petition 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Petition module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

• If you use the Petition module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Petition 6.x-1.3

Also see the Petition project page.
