- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-031
- Project: GD Infinite Scroll (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-January-28
- Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery, Multiple vulnerabilities
Description
GD Infinite Scroll module enables you to use the “infinite scroll jQuery plugin : auto-pager” on custom pages.
Some links were not protected against CSRF. A malicious user could cause another user with the “edit gd infinite scroll settings” permission to delete settings by getting his browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.
Also, the module fails to sanitize user input in its admin page, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “edit gd infinite scroll settings”.

- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
