• Date: 2015-May-20
• Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
• Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Access bypass

Description

Navigate is a customizable navigation tool for Drupal.

Access Bypass

In certain situations the module does not adequately check content permissions, allowing a malicious user with “navigate view” permission to modify custom widgets and create new widget database records.

Cross-site scripting

The module also doesn’t sufficiently filter text, creating an XSS vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permissions “navigate view”, “navigate_custom use” and either “navigate customize” or “navigate administer”.
