Dropbox client – Multiple Vulnerabilities – SA-CONTRIB-2016-027

Description

This module enables you to view dropbox files in your Drupal site.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize filenames when displaying them to users or administrators leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must be able to upload files to the dropbox folder that the victim later views through the Drupal site.

Additionally, the module shipped with hardcoded and exposed Oauth credentials, making known users of the module exposed to phishing and/or access bypass.

The app secret has been made invalid, making the exposed secrets unusable for the attacker. This also makes the module unusable without upgrading and taking necessary steps to register a new Dropbox app.

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

  • All dropbox_client 7.x-3.x versions.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

  • If you use the dropbox_client module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to dropbox_client 7.x-4.0
  • Versions 3.x is no longer supported
