SA-CORE-2014-005 – Drupal core – SQL injection

Leave a comment

Description

Drupal 7 includes a database abstraction API to ensure that queries executed against the database are sanitized to prevent SQL injection attacks.

A vulnerability in this API allows an attacker to send specially crafted requests resulting in arbitrary SQL execution. Depending on the content of the requests this can lead to privilege escalation, arbitrary PHP execution, or other attacks.

This vulnerability can be exploited by anonymous users.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • CVE-2014-3704

Versions affected

  • Drupal core 7.x versions prior to 7.32.

Solution

Install the latest version:

If you are unable to update to Drupal 7.32 you can apply this patch to Drupal’s database.inc file to fix the vulnerability until such time as you are able to completely upgrade to Drupal 7.32.

Also see the Drupal core project page.

SA-CONTRIB-2014-098 – CKEditor – Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Leave a comment

Description

The CKEditor module (and its predecessor, FCKeditor module) allows Drupal to replace textarea fields with CKEditor 3.x/4.x (FCKeditor 2.x in case of FCKeditor module) – a visual HTML editor, sometimes called WYSIWYG editor.

Both modules define a function, called via an ajax request, that filters text before passing it into the editor, to prevent certain cross site scripting attacks on content edits (that the JavaScript library might not handle). Because the function did not check a CSRF token for anonymous users, it was possible to perform reflected XSS against anonymous users via CSRF.

The problem existed in CKEditor/FCKeditor modules for Drupal, not in JavaScript libraries with the same names.

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • CKEditor 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.15.
  • CKEditor 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.14.
  • FCKeditor 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed CKEditor – WYSIWYG HTML editor module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

Also see the CKEditor – WYSIWYG HTML editor project page.

SA-CONTRIB-2014-097 – nodeaccess – Access Bypass

Leave a comment

Description

Nodeaccess is a Drupal access control module which provides view, edit and delete access to nodes.

This module enables you to inadvertently allow an author of a node view/edit/delete the node in question (who may not have access). The module over-eagerly grants read/write/delete access to all authors of nodes.

In addition, a node that is unpublished, but is granted node specific permissions will obey the node specific permissions and not the unpublished content permission for the role.

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • Nodeaccess 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.5.
  • Nodeaccess 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.4.

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

Solution

Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Nodeaccess module when installing. For existing nodes, please ensure that the author permissions are correct.

Also see the Nodeaccess project page.

SA-CONTRIB-2014-095 – Safeword – Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Leave a comment

Description

The safeword module provides an automatically generated ‘Machine Name’ when text is entered into a human-readable field.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize the field description that can be used as help text under the machine name editing field.

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

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • Safeword 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.9.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

SA-CONTRIB-2014-094 – Webform Patched – Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Leave a comment

Description

The Webform Patched module is a fork of the Webform module with Token support added. The module enables you to create forms which can be used for surveys, contact forms or other data collection throughout your site.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize field label titles when two fields have the same form_key, which can only be managed by carefully crafting the webform structure via a specific set of circumstances.

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

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • Webform Patched 6.x-3.x versions prior to 6.x-3.20.
  • Webform Patched 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.20.

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

SA-CONTRIB-2014-093 – Twilio – Information Disclosure

Leave a comment

Description

This module enables you to easily add SMS and VOIP functionality to your website by leveraging the Twilio cloud Voip and SMS service.

The module doesn’t expose its own permissions for administration including viewing and editing the Twilio authentication tokens. It relies only on “access administration pages” permission which is frequently granted to less-trusted users.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “access administration pages”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • Twilio 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.9.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

  • If you use the Twiliio module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Twilio 7.x-1.9

SA-CONTRIB-2014-092 – Services – Cross Site Scripting, Access bypass

Leave a comment

Description

The Services module enables you to expose an API to third party systems using REST, XML-RPC or other protocols.

New user’s password set to weak password in _user_resource_create()

When creating a new user account via Services, the new user’s password was set to a weak password.

This issue is mitigated by the fact that the user resource must be enabled (or least have been enabled in the past) and new user registration permitted via Services.

Action required: This release of Services comes with an interface and a drush command to perform actions in order to secure your site and get rid of this vulnerability. After installing this release and running the regular database updates, make sure to read all the information provided at admin/config/services/services-security, and pick the option most suited to your site. For example, you can reset the password of all user accounts that have been created since August 30th, 2013 (recommended).

Unfiltered JSONP callback parameter (XSS)

The JSONP response of a callback parameter is unfiltered and outputs raw HTTP data. This can lead to arbitrary JavaScript execution.

This issue is mitigated by the fact that JSONP is not enabled by default in the REST server response formatters and the HTTP client Accept header must be set to text/javascript or application/javascript if the “xml” formatter is enabled.

Services module now restricts callback parameters to alphanumeric characters only and a hard limit of 60 characters.

Flood control for user login bypass

Flood control was not properly enforced leaving it vulnerable to brute force attacks. Services now implements flood control just like core Drupal does.

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • Services 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.10.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

  1. If you use the Services module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Services 7.x-3.10
  2. follow the security update instructions at admin/config/services/services-security

SA-CONTRIB-2014-091 – Survey Builder – Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Leave a comment

Description

This module allows you to use the Form Builder module to provide an intuitive interface for building surveys, along with the back-end for storing surveys and their responses.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

When viewing surveys at “/surveys”, the survey titles printed out are not sanitized. Any potentially dangerous code in the survey titles is also rendered.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that a user must have the “Create Survey” permission to be able to set the survey titles.

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • survey_builder 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

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

SA-CONTRIB-2014-090 Speech recognition – Multiple vulnerabilities

Leave a comment

Description

This module enables you to add speech recognition to forms, allowing site admins to enable experimental Speech Input API features on form inputs through the user interface.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

The module incorrectly prints fields without proper sanitization thereby opening a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

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

Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

The module enables in-place configuration of form options via AJAX requests, but it doesn’t sufficiently check the source of those requests, making possible for an attacker to cause a user to unknowingly make changes to the field configurations.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacked administrator must have a role with the permission “administer speech”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • All versions of Speech recognition.

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

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Speech recognition module,
