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”.
