Node Notify – Critical – Multiple Vulnerabilities – SA-CONTRIB-2016-013 – Unsupported

Description

Node Notify is a lightweight module to allow subscription to comments on nodes for registered and anonymous users.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize some user provided content, leading to a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

Additionally, some paths were not protected against CSRF. An attacker could cause another user to subscribe and unsubscribe notifications by getting the user’s browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.

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

Versions affected
