• Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-055
• Project: Menu Views (third-party module)
• Version: 7.x
• Date: 2016-November-02
• Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
• Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

This module enables users to create menu items that render views instead of links. This is useful for creating “mega-menus”.

The module doesn’t sufficiently filter title and breadcrumb fields for possible cross-site scripting.

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

CVE identifier(s) issued

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

Versions affected

• Menu Views 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.4.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

• If you use the Menu Views module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Menu Views 7.x-2.4
